Western Fair Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
CRUNCHINTHEODDS (1) scored at Grand River Raceway two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 3.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. GREAT TRICKSTER (5) is racing in fine form with two wins and two minor placings from the past four outings. Went close again last time over 1609m at Grand River Raceway, finishing second and 2.5 metres from the winner. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. SUPER GREEN (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished third at Mohawk Park over 1609m. LIFTING LEGEND (7) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Crunchintheodds at Grand River Raceway over 1609m in a 3yo CG on September 16 at $5.05. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Go Rossco at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 4yo on September 24 at $17.90. Has the right credentials to take this out.
