Woodbine Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
FOREVER FROSTY (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when sixth in a 1408m contest at Woodbine All Weather two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BALTIC SEA (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was handy all the way over 1509m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. MOON CHANNEL (3) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Katerina Vassilieva stable. Resumes after finishing seventh at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) at his last run 15 months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Expected to be in the finish. SMOKIN EMPIRE (6) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1106m at Woodbine All Weather, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing.
