Grand River Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $8,089

NZURI (4) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 metres. Has the class to take care of this field. SPUN FROM MAGIC (5) was successful at his most recent outing by 0.8 metres at Hanover Raceway over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. ZIG ZAG (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. FINAL TEXT (7) must be considered after she finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Before that, a game effort when 3rd over 1609m at Hiawatha was leading by at the bell, beaten 1.5 m by Walkonthemoon (2:00.40) on May 23 at $4.10. Recent form okay so worth considering.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third behind Global News at this track over 1609m on June 8 at $18.35. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Chip Happened at this track over 1609m on June 15 at $30.75. Strong winning prospects.
