Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $12,208

DRAGONS BETTER (3) was out of the money two back at Grand River Raceway. Turned in a better run last time out when second over 1609m at this track, beaten a head. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. DOCS ROCK (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. SILVER SPIRIT (1) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at Georgian Downs six days ago. TITANIC HANOVER (8) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Georgian Downs.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 8th over 1609m at Georgian Downs, at the bell was leading beaten 9 m by Rj's Superfreak (1:54.00) in G on August 4 at $4.85. At the previous start 8th over 1609m at Grand River Raceway was 5th- at the bell, beaten 18 m by Captainofrocknroll (1:52.00) in G on July 24 at $8.45. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing fifth behind Gloryview Image at this track over 1609m in a G on July 23 at $19.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Show Stop at this track over 1609m in a G on August 3 at $2.40. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.

Failed to impress last start; 8th over 1609m at this track was 8th- at the bell, beaten 13 m by Show Stop (1:52.00) in G on August 3 at $29.80. Showed ability the race before when he won by a neck at Grand River Raceway (1:55.00) beating Acefortyfour Jack in G on July 20 at $16.85 at the bell was 4th-. Sure to be about the mark.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m seventh behind Rj's Superfreak at Georgian Downs over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 0.8 metres second again at Georgian Downs same class on July 28. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
