Woodbine Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
WHISPERING ECHO (5) Dale A Desruisseaux 2yo by Audible on debut. Christoff Douglas is a pivotal booking. Watch betting. ARRABBIATA (1) Felt the pinch late when 3rd last run around here and fitter for debut run. Rafael Manuel Hernandez is in form for this stable. Drawn beautifully. Strong hope. GREAT BIG DIAMOND (2) 2yo by Practical Joke on debut for Elizabeth R and gets a favourable gate. Watch for a sign in the market. YERWAN (6) Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 2nd last start here. Should muster plenty of early toe. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Key player.

Was found wanting late when 3rd beaten by 4 3/4L last run at this track and was on debut last time. Has minimal work to do from the draw. Will be competitive.

Jumped at $10.00 and gave away some ground when 4th last run at this venue and down in distance. Most likely not today.

Started off strong but faded towards the end when 2nd beaten by 1L last start at this track. Shows good early pace. Chance and can measure up.

Jumped at $9.50 and average at best when 11th last time at Kentucky Downs but having second career run. Might have to make up considerable ground. Very unlikely to shake these.
