Woodbine Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming

MAGICAL FACTOR (5) was safely held last time when 11th over 2012m in stakes class at Woodbine All Weather albeit against tougher opposition. Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. EVER DANGEROUS (4) has been racing in great heart with four top-three finishes on end, the latest a third after he got a long way back in the run over 1710m at Woodbine All Weather. The engagement of Rafael Manuel Hernandez is noteworthy. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. FIRST EMPIRE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. COUNTRYBOYSURVIVE (6) scored last start at Woodbine All Weather to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Has a decent record at this track with four minor placings from five runs. Too good to ignore.

Last start ran second last of 12 in stakes class at Woodbine All Weather at Woodbine All Weather on August 15 over 2012m, 25 len behind Luster with 57kg at $11.80.

Should be right in the finish.
