Woodbine Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Optional Claiming
SON OF A DARBY (5) Katerina Vassilieva 2yo by Avie's Flatter having first race start. Ryan Munger is highly regarded. Watch early betting. FLAXON FALCON (2) Close to claiming the win last time here and fitter for debut run. Has plenty of early speed. Can find a nice position from the draw. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. KING KADOOMENT (6) Kept chasing when 3rd last start at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. Shows good early pace. Very competitive this campaign. Suitably placed in this race. SILENT EXPLOSION (3) Tidy run when 3rd last run here. Won't be far away during the run. Solid each way claims.

Started $27.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 12th last run around here but has minimal work to do from the draw. Likely to be well placed early. Seems very unlikely.

Right in contention last time here and was on debut last time. Has early speed and positions nicely. Drawn nicely. Gets a chance against these.

Nice run when 3rd last run at this track. Should muster plenty of early toe. Possible place chance.

Fresh from a spell. Started at $27.00 and ran past a few when 5th last time at Assiniboia Downs and was a debutant last start. Goes down in grade. Prefer in something a lot easier.

2yo debutant sired by Avie's Flatter for Katerina Vassilieva. Added confidence with Ryan Munger doing the steering. Watch the betting.

Did well to finish 3rd beaten by 5L last start at this venue and promising career start. Has shown early pace in races to date. In good form this preparation. Expect a forward showing.

Was $16.00 and faded to finish 8th last run at this track and dropping in distance. Will be positive in the run early. One for your trifecta.

Jumped at $18.00 and crept into 4th last time around here and will find this grade more suitable. Some hope in this event.
