Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 8 - Race 8
LITE UP THE WORLD (6) form this prep has been most impressive and he made it two from two when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 2.25 metres. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. PAPIS PISTOL (7) last appeared when a fourth over 1609m at Meadowlands on 30/11/2024, capping off a fine prep that saw him salute on four occasions. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. TH KAY C CRUNCH (8) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 14 metres into third at Pocono Downs. No reason he cannot take this out. JOEL AND THE JETS (2) must be respected after scoring first-up last start by a neck at this track over 1609m.
