Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 4 - Race 4
CAPTAIN OPTIMISTIC (7) was 2.25 metres away in second at Philadelphia over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Has to contend with a very wide draw. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. SWINGTOWN (8) turned things around at his latest appearance when he scored by 4 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Must overcome a very wide draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. BOURBON COUNTY (2) scored by half a metre over 1609m at this track last start at the second run back from a spell. Plenty of room for improvement so another win would not surprise. JOEL AND THE JETS (3) must be respected after scoring first-up last start by a neck at this track over 1609m.
