Grand River Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $9,100

VIMY RIDGE EPONA (3) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten a head, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. EMOTICONNWALNER (2) scored at his most recent outing by a head in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up so he can make it two on the bounce. IAMTHAT SPECIAL (6) should be ready to peak now after finishing third over 1609m at this track a week ago. Expect her to give this a real shake. MASSIVE VICTORY (7) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on June 12.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back posted a big 5 m win as favourite at this track (1:58.30) beating Ms E Elliott in on June 5 at $1.25 at the bell was leading. Last start just missed, game effort when 2nd over 1609m at this track was 2nd- at the bell, beaten a head by Greek Manalishi (1:57.20) on June 12 at $2.25. Hard to fault on current form.
