Western Fair Raceway Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609M

CHEDDAR BAY (4) resumes from a spell of three months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1609m at Grand River Raceway. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. SPORTSLINE (2) was beaten narrowly two runs ago then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. DRINKIN BUDDY (1) scored last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role again. IT TAKES TWO (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on December 26.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following November 16 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.5 m as favourite at Flamboro Downs (1:55.40) beating Coligny Hanover in G on November 27 at $1.50 at the bell was leading. This race will be harder than that win.
