Grand River Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $8,163

MAGICAL ARTHUR (7) ran fourth last start at Mohawk Park over 1609m, beaten 3 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Has the class to take care of this field. DRINKIN BUDDY (2) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track but gave a good account, beaten only 2.25 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. CHEF (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Georgian Downs last time out. TIME TO DANCING (4) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
