Western Fair Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
HERES THE THING (3) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 8 metres into sixth at Grand River Raceway over 1609m. From this far better draw can take this out. PENNYS NOIR (1) ran seventh last start at Flamboro Downs over 1609m, beaten 5 metres. Expected to run well. SEEL THE DARK (2) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Hanover Raceway. PLAY LIKE KIRARA (6) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at Leamington Raceway on September 21.
