Woodbine Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Optional Claiming
FRANKNESS (8) sets the standard after a debut 2nd at Woodbine over 1006m, beaten 1.8L when tracking the speed, and gets a similar trip up to 1106m. MISS SOOTHSAYER (3) is a key chance off a narrow 2nd here over 1006m last start, just 0.3L away, and drops 3kg. EUBANK (5) brings solid local placings late last season, including four top‑three finishes from his past five, and was 2nd over 1408m then 4th beaten 2.3L at 1207m. SAMMYSAURUS REX (2) has on‑pace Woodbine runs and was 3rd two back over 1308m, which reads fairly for this shorter trip.
