Woodbine Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Optional Claiming
GLINT OVER ESSA (6) Placed 3rd last time at this venue. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Jockey Pietro Moran and trainer William Tharrenos must be respected together. Rates well and should be taken seriously. FLASHY AFFAIR (2) Katerina Vassilieva 2yo by Happy Saver having first start and has a good draw. Ryan Munger is an advantage. Follow the money. MARIETTA BABE (4) Good performance to run into 3rd last start around here. Worth a ticket. ANOTHER SEATTLE (7) Came in 4th last time at the track but fitter for debut run. Won't be far away during the run. Use betting as a guide.

Fresh after a break. Odds of $22.00 and looked outclassed when 7th last time here but was a debutant last start. Can save some energy from the barrier. Would rather look at others.

Katerina Vassilieva 2yo by Happy Saver having first race start and can find a nice position from the draw. Ryan Munger is a crucial engagement. Watch early betting.

Was $10.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 7th last time at the track but was on debut last time. Likely to get back in the run. Very unlikely to shake these.

Did well to run into 3rd beaten by just short of 12L last start at this venue. Winning chance at nice odds.

At $35.00 not up to scratch when 7th last time at this venue. Displays good tactical speed. Rough chance.

Tidy effort when 3rd last time at this track. Jockey Pietro Moran and trainer William Tharrenos are a strong team. Has early speed and positions nicely. Competitive type.

Odds of $16.00 and ran 4th last time at the track but having second career run. Should be going forward early. Small possibility.
