Grand River Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: $8,009

PARTY IT UP (4) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his success last start, scoring by 2.25 metres over 1609m at Hiawatha. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. WICKED PRINCE (7) finished fifth last start over 1609m at Flamboro Downs, beaten 5 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Won't find this any harder and he can finish a lot closer this time. BOYD BAY (5) comes right into contention after scoring last start by half a metre at Flamboro Downs over 1609m. SEES THE BAY (1) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
