Grand River Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $6,122

SILVER SPIRIT (1) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by one metre over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall again. ARAGONITE (4) was in the money two runs ago then was about the mark again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing one metre from the winner in second. Meets a comparable field and he can get the job done. VINO LOUIE (3) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at this track over 1609m. FULL HORSE (2) ended last prep with a fourth at Rideau Carleton Raceway over 1609m 14 months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 1.0 m as favourite at this track (1:52.00) beating Aragonite in G on June 26 at $1.80 at the bell was leading. Going very well and deserves top billing.

First up. At the last run he 4th over 1609m at Rideau Carleton Raceway, at the bell was 3rd- beaten 3.5 m by The Light Speed (1:52.20) in HCP on April 20 2025 at $6. Finds a nice race to launch the campaign.
