Woodbine Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
SMOKIN EMPIRE (6) Ran 3rd last time at this track and putting a tidy record together so far. Should muster plenty of early speed. Going over extra ground. Appears as a winning threat. NO HAY DOS (1) First up after a break of 28 weeks. Close to a win last start at Turfway Park and has drawn the rails. One of the better chances. MOON CHANNEL (3) First up after 66 weeks and was amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 4 1/4L first up last preparation at Keeneland. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Good prospects. BALTIC SEA (2) Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at this track and promising career start. Has a positive gate. One of the main dangers.

Resuming after a spell of 28 weeks. Right up there last start at Turfway Park and has minimal work to do from the alley. Will run close.

Was quite a handful for the competition when 3rd last run at this venue and will try to take advantage of the alley. Has early speed and positions nicely. Very tidy performer.

First up after 66 weeks and showed a good turn of foot when 2nd first up last preparation at Keeneland. Good career start. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Started at $6.50 and struggled with the pace when 5th last time at this track but stepping back up in distance. Has plenty of early speed. Unplaced in career. Very unlikely to shake these.

Odds of $5.50 and didn't threaten when 6th last run at this venue. Looking for an improved run and back to an increased distance. Represents value at a price.

Competitive effort when 3rd last time at this track and solid career start. Jockey Fraser Aebly and trainer Mark E Casse are an appealing combination. Should come to hand quickly. Gets a solid chance here.
