Woodbine Race 8 - Race 8 - Optional Claiming
SOLO MISSION (8) Fresh after a break. Weakened to finish 5th last start here. Should improve from the last run and will find this grade more suitable. Can go on with it. PROPHETIC DEBBY (1) Backs up quickly. Picked up late ground when 3rd last run around here and drawn beautifully. Facing stiffer opposition. Form has been improving over recent runs. Definite claims. BIG IMAGINATION (3) Struggled with the pace when 11th last time here. Has the talent to rebound quickly but competing in a higher grade. Should be going forward early. Worth a ticket. LOTTA GEMS (4) Was a comprehensive winner by 4L last start around here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Jeffrey Ian Alderson and Catherine Day Phillips are a formidable team. Among the chances.

On a short turnaround. Finished with intent when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at this venue and drawn well. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Getting better in recent performances. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Improved late to finish 5th last time here and going down in grade. Producing consistent results since resuming from a break and has a good draw. Could not recommend in this.
