Western Fair Raceway Race 12 - Race 12
MELS LEGACY (9) finished third last start, beaten 6 metres at this track over 1609m. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Stepping up a level this time but he is good enough to take this out. THE MAGIC MOMENT (5) finished fourth last start over 1609m at Hippodrome 3R but was very competitive, beaten only 1.75 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. ARUNDEL HANOVER (1) ended last prep with a fifth at Grand River Raceway over 1609m three-and-a-half months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. ROSE RUN VORTEX (2) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at Flamboro Downs last time out.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m fifth behind Catfish Jack at this track over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third at Hiawatha in on September 26. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
