Woodbine Race 6 - Race 6 - Optional Claiming
PEPPER BROOKS (6) Landed the spoils when winning by 1 1/2L last start at this track and having second career run. Rafael Manuel Hernandez and Robert P Tiller make an imposing pair. Hard to overlook. AWESOME BEAT (7) Finished 5th last run around here. Expected to rebound but coming back in trip. Tracking very well this campaign. Displays good closing speed. Top prospects against this opposition. CAJUN INFLUENCE (5) Finished 4th last run at this track. Looking for an improved run but racing against tougher rivals. Shows good early pace. Capable of taking this out. EGBERT WHO (1) Struggled with the pace when 6th last start at the track but has minimal work to do from the gate. Always seems to find the line well. Can measure up to this company.

Was $12.00 and folded up in the straight when 6th last start around here but can find a nice position from the draw. Competing at a higher level of competition. A threat to the other main hopes.

Odds of $3.88 and ran 5th last run at this venue. Expected to rebound but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Should go close.
