Ganette - 8:12 - 32/1

Well the bookies rarely get it wrong but still 32/1 seems a high price for a horse who has managed to win her last three races. A big step up in class for Ganette here this evening though as she tries her hand at her first ever WFA race. Not afraid to run in big fields this is a confident horse who has in total picked up 3 wins and 4 placed finishes from her 11 runs to date. While I dont believe she'll make it four wins on the trot I do think she'll improve on the £135 already earned for the Menace stable with a place here this evening.

Ready Steady - 9:12 - 9/2

I've heard alot of owners talking about this 2 year old colt from the Pro Ev Racing stable after his first run in Canada on the 26th of May. He won that race in style defeating a full field and a full two weeks later is well rested for the assault this evening back in Canada. That one and only run was over muddy though and it'll be a completely different scenario for Ready Steady tonight as he faces fast going. Still Pro Ev are a fantastic stable and will be confident he can make it back to back victories.

MC Smarties - 9:55 - 8/1

Well I believe this race is made for MC Smarties to do well. Always stong over fast the 2 year old colt is aiming to make it 4 wins from 17 starts to add to his collection of 7 placed finishes. The major chase trained colt has been busy in June running four times and was especially unlucky not to have won on the 4th of June in Dubai when he was just beaten by a late surge by Eklissato. A strong runner he is worth an each way flutter this evening.
