Woodbine Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
EL MAGNATE (1) Made a mess of them when winning by 3 1/4L last start at this track and having second career run. Will appreciate a good draw. In the mix. WILLIAM T (4) Ran well when 2nd last start at the track but up against tougher rivals. Can go on with it. MARSHAL (6) Peaked on the run when 2nd last time at this track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Has early speed and positions nicely. Can figure. BIG TIME BOSS (5) Disappointing outing when 5th last start at this venue and challenged by more formidable competitors. One of the hopes.

Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 3 1/4L last start at this track and was on debut last time. Has the ideal draw. Solid claims.

First up and ran on hard when winning first up last preparation around here. Will be motoring home late. Can find a nice position from the draw. Will need to lift.

Was competitive when 3rd last start at this track but up in grade. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Risky betting proposition.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at this venue but facing a stronger grade. Has a good chance.

Started $8.50 and ordinary performance when 5th last start at the track and up against a higher level of opposition. Not out of this.

First up and romped home to win first up last preparation at the track. Has plenty of early speed. Showing consistent performance in races. Racing in stronger company. Can lift in this event.
