Western Fair Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
MUSCLE UP THE GOLD (9) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 7 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Leading hope if she is at her best. TEASIN (5) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, failing to live up to market expectations. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. RUN LIKE HILL (8) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at Flamboro Downs last time out. WORKINITONBROADWAY (1) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.
