Woodbine Race 5 - Race 5 - Optional Claiming
SWIFTY KIM (7) Ran home strongly to win last run at this track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Jockey Pietro Moran and trainer William Tharrenos show promise as a duo. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. CHARMING JACKIE (3) Gave away some ground when 6th last run at this track. Likely to bounce back and lining up against easier rivals. Won't be far away during the run. This field suits. AWESOME GRACE (6) Tidy run when 2nd last start at this venue and challenged by weaker competitors. Should come to hand quickly. Going well this campaign. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. SHIMMERING FROST (1) Set the tempo when winning by a margin of 3 1/4L last time at this venue and has minimal work to do from the gate. Displays good tactical speed. Could pose a threat and looks promising.

Odds of $5.33 and looked outclassed when 6th last run at the track. Likely to bounce back and competing in an easier class. Will be positive in the run early. Strong prospects in this race.

Finished with intent when 3rd beaten by 5 1/2L last run around here and will find this grade more suitable. Looks optimistic.

Jumped at $8.50 and below standard effort when 6th last start at the track but competing at a lower class. Will be motoring home late. Others are better.

Did well when 2nd last start at this track and facing weaker opposition. Has plenty of early speed. In fine form since resuming from a break. Should go very close.

Picked up late to win last run at this track and putting a tidy record together. Pietro Moran and William Tharrenos are a strong duo. Expected to be flashing home. Definite contender.
