Woodbine Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Optional Claiming
BUTTERFLY BILLIE (7) improved last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at Woodbine All Weather. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. CHOCOLATECROISSANT (12) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished 11th at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) over 1710m when first-up last time in work. Has ability and should be right in the finish. BEACH CRICKET (4) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth in a 1308m contest at Woodbine All Weather five weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. LADY ON THE NILE (2) finished 18 lengths from the winner in eighth at her most recent outing over 1006m at Woodbine All Weather after she gave away a big start. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
