Grand River Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $8,108

HOWYOUPLAY THEGAME (5) won at Flamboro Downs two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, beaten 4 metres. Finds a suitable assignment and can make amends. CRAZY WORLD (6) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, finishing third and just 1.3 metres from the winner. Primary contender in a similar line-up. JJ XAVIER (4) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway a week-and-a-half ago. ENAVANT (3) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at Flamboro Downs over 1609m.
