Grand River Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $13,225

PAC MAN HANOVER (4) turned in a much better run last start when runner-up over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 0.8 metres. Leading hope in this comparable race. BOLD SPIRIT (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. R J RINGO (5) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished third over 1609m at this track last time out. P L OLIVER (1) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing fourth behind Axial at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 5yo on June 27 at $97.75. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Blazing Cruiser at Mohawk Park over 1609m on July 11 at $2.15. Has the ability to play a major role.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m third behind B Stoney at this track over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten a nose second at Mohawk Park in on July 25. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
