Woodbine Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Optional Claiming
ACCELERANDO (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on April 5, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Has found the right race. MAC GOWAN (4) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1106m at Woodbine All Weather, beaten 8 lengths. Must respect recent market confidence so give him another chance. BRIGHT ANGEL (1) is a 11-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Woodbine All Weather. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. CASTLE HARBOUR (7) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in third over 1408m at Woodbine All Weather. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
