Woodbine Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Optional Claiming
MR BOND (7) Moved through the field into 4th last run at this track. Should race on the speed. Rates well in this race. SARATOGA GOLD (5) Was well beaten when 8th last start at this track. Should improve here. Right in this. H C GAMBLE (3) Weakened to finish 6th last start around here but fitter for debut run. Will be positive in the run early. Chance. GOLD DRAGON (4) Got going late when 4th last time here and having second career run. Xarel Forde and Robert P Tiller form a proven partnership. Exotics and place contender.

Was $18.00 and clearly outclassed when 6th last run here but has the ideal draw. Entitled to be big odds.

Odds of $8.00 and came in 5th last run at this venue but fitter for debut run. Won't be far away during the run. Big improvement required to threaten these.

Was $5.50 and gave away some ground when 6th last start at the track but was a debutant last start. Likely to be well placed early. Should definitely be in your exotic bets.

Started at $8.00 and moved ahead of some to finish 4th last time at this track and having second race start. Sound chance.

Didn't threaten when 8th last start at the track. Should improve here. One of the punters top hopes.

At $16.00 disappointing run when 9th last start at this track but was a debutant last start. Should get going late. Will struggle to compete in this race.
