Woodbine Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Optional Claiming
BENKA (1) Did well to run into 3rd last start at this venue and having second race start. Has shown early pace in races to date. Will appreciate a good gate. Will be in the finish. BITTER BULLET (3) Picked up some ground to run 5th last start at the track. Fights on bravely so consider. HOT GYAL MOSSOP (7) Old Forester 2yo trained by Krista Cole Simpson having first race start. Watch the market moves. HAVE RESPECT (2) Looked outclassed when 5th last run at the track but was on debut last time. Displays good tactical speed. Can find a nice position from the draw. Watch betting.

Came on strongly when 3rd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at the track and was on debut last time. Should muster plenty of early speed. Will be there at the business end.

Jumped at $3.88 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last run at this track but was a debutant last start. Won't be far away during the run. Entitled to be a big price.

At $7.50 inched into 4th last run at this venue and fitter for debut run. Overlook from a betting angle.

Started $18.00 and sub-standard effort when 6th last start at this track but was on debut last time. Sahin Civaci and Michael P De Paulo deserve respect together. Hard to take.
