Woodbine Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

GROOT (4) has been kept fresh since finishing sixth over 1207m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. WICO (5) was in contention on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1207m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SECRET THREAT (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 20 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1207m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. CRUCIAL TAUNT (1) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish sixth over the same trip at this track after he had settled well back. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role.
