Grand River Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $11,190

SPORTS CAPER (1) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 11 metres into seventh at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and from this favourable draw can make amends. BIG BOY BALLYKEEL (4) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 7 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. TWEETER TWIT (9) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. COUNTING PEBBLES (2) is a two-year-old gelding from the S Steacy yard on debut. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Well-placed to score at his first appearance.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 7th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 7th- at the bell, beaten 11 m by Billy Hill (1:52.40) in 2yo CG on August 6 at $144.25. The start before 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 8th- beaten 11 m by Hamilton Hanover (1:53.20) in 2yo CG on July 27 at $21.50. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.

Two-year-old gelding by Pebble Beach out of Literally Hanover having his first start. A bit of a push for him in early discussions is worth noting.

Last start 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 4th- at the bell, beaten 7 m by Billy Hill (1:52.40) in 2yo CG on August 6 at $82.30. Before that, a game effort when 3rd over 1609m at this track was 4th- at the bell, beaten 2.75 m by Bernoulli (1:56.00) in G on July 29 at $15.45. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
