Grand River Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $8,969

SMILES FOR MILES (5) is on fire this campaign and has been in the top-three at all four appearances. Good effort last time when successful over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of continuing his outstanding form. CONNOR B (1) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 0.8 metres from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. DEVIL'S WISH (6) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. STATE ONE SMILEY (7) is a reliable conveyance who was second most recently at Georgian Downs. Hard to rule out.
