Western Fair Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
DRINKIN BUDDY (7) made it two wins from his last five appearances three weeks ago, getting home by half a metre over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat again. DOCSPHILLYCHEESE (6) has put together a fine sequence of results and kept it up last time out with a strong win at this track over 1609m. Primary contender in this comparable race. ODDS ON CAPITALISM (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park. THE MAGIC MOMENT (4) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Batavia Downs.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following December 31 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.3 m at this track (1:57.30) beating Mels Legacy in G on January 13 at $4.25 at the bell was 3rd-. This race will be harder than that win. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Last start 6th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th- beaten 6 m by It Takes Two (1:58.00) in G on January 16 at $25. Two runs back won by 2.5 m at this track (1:59.00) beating Dalhousie in G on January 6 at $5.10 at the bell was leading. Hard to make a winning case.

Solid performance when a close second behind Respect Our Flag at Flamboro Downs over 1609m in a G on December 21 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Davey Day Trader at Batavia Downs over 1609m in a OPEN I-II on January 22 at $3.10. Has the ability to take this out.
