Woodbine Race 7 - Bold Venture S. Stakes

WESTERN WHIRL (6) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1006m in the G2 Highlander Stakes at Woodbine last time. Form here at this trip is sound. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will play a major role. POULIN IN O T (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by one length when resuming last time out over 1207m in stakes class at this track. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. G T FIVE HUNDRED (5) built on a nice third two starts back in the G2 Highlander Stakes at Woodbine with success over 1509m in the G2 Connaught Cup Stakes at Woodbine four weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Jose Luis Campos scored on him last time and retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. NOTORIOUS GANGSTER (8) started at $2.45 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1811m. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be thereabouts.
