Woodbine Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
VERY SPECIAL (2) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at this track over 1710m. Has ability and is one of the leading chances. HELLO STRANGER (5) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 1710m at Woodbine after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. WHO GOES THERE (4) finished second last start over 1710m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. COBURG (1) was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1710m at this track at his latest appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.
