Woodbine Mohawk Park Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $30,519

GIO'S HOPE (1) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 5 metres over 1609m at Saratoga. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force once more. FREE SCOTTIE (5) finished fifth last start, beaten 25 metres at Meadowlands over 1609m. Expect him to be prominent. DATA BREACH (8) is a likely improver after debuting with a solid second last time out over 1609m at this track. KOUNTRY CANTAB (3) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Solid run when a close third behind Unstable Genius at this track over 1609m in a 2yo OPEN CG on July 24 at $67.65. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Unstable Genius at this track over 1609m in a 2yo OPEN CG on August 14 at $17.60. This race appears well within his grasp.
