Use the same word in both blank spaces to complete the sentence. With one more. He is. To win the race.

You may have more luck i Quizzes and Puzzles.
Is this all one sentence and the full stops represent the missing words?
Bound
Bound?
Going?
Bound is better.
A question mark would make things clearer, brin.
question mark-? ;)
Question Author
Full stops represent missing word,, question mark as well would do Svejk, thanks.
This would have been clearer.

With one more ____he is____to win the race..
It's clearly, 'bound' but would this work? With one more, sure he is sure to win the race.
needs to be said with an Irish accent
Yes, to be sure, sandy
It certainly sounds Oirish, sandy.
Would Fowler, he of modern English usage, find anything wrong with it ?
bound?
Why is it I can't see any replies until I post a reply?
'Bound' sprang to my mind. sandyRoe, I haven't unearthed my Fowler yet (after the move lots of things are 'wherever'), but I give a cautious 'no; to the alteration of punctuation and use of 'sure' (Cautious because Fowler can always sneak up on you and catch you out!)

My reason is that if you are talking about a race you have to have something like stride, step, jump etc. and by omitting that there is no clarity of meaning. I'm wondering if it would be OK if one imagined an earlier sentence which established something on the lines of laps?
Desperate
///'Bound' sprang to my mind.///

i see what you did there ...
With one more push he is bound to win the race?
@vakayu...it needs to be the same word
