Woodbine Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Optional Claiming
C C CASINO (6) Michael Mattine trained 2yo by Gamble's Exchange having first race start. Betting is the best guide. TOWNLINE BERTIE (7) Looked outclassed when 5th last run around here. Happy to forgive that run. Rafael Manuel Hernandez and Robert P Tiller are a combination worth noting. Goes very close. CANDYCREST (1) Collusion Illusion 2yo trained by Scott Martin on debut and drawn the rails. Follow the money. ROCKFORT (8) First start at the races 2yo by Souper Speedy for Cary Brooks. Betting as a guide.

Started $27.00 and was well beaten when 6th last start at this venue and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Does take a while to get into stride. Overlook from a betting angle.
