Woodbine Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WILLIAM T (3) Good effort to finish 2nd last time at the track and taking on a lower class of opponents. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Worth a bet. EL CAPO (2) Led all the way to win by a margin of 4 1/4L last time here and gets a favourable alley. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Should go well. TUX (1) Hit the line well when 4th last run around here and has minimal work to do from the alley. Rafael Manuel Hernandez usually performs well for the Josie Carroll stable. Appears well in this. NAVY STREET (4) Faded to finish 4th last start at this track. Should improve here and challenged by weaker competitors. Should muster plenty of early speed. Include in chances.

Started $5.33 and closed off nicely when 4th last run at this track and has the ideal gate. Up against a more competitive field. Will be down in distance. Strong contender.

Caught the eye when 2nd beaten by 4L last time at this track and goes down in class. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Commands respect.

Started at $14.00 and didn't threaten when 4th last start at this track. Should improve here and matched against a less competitive field. Should come to hand quickly. One for the value hunters.

Fresh after a break. Won with a leg in the air by just short of 9L last start at Gulfstream Park and good career start. Would need to step up.
