Grand River Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $11,699

DRAGON YOU ALONG (5) was out of the money two back at this track. Turned in a better run last time out when third over 1609m at Clinton Raceway, beaten 4.5 metres. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. EARLY PLAY (2) made it two wins from his last three outings six days ago, getting home by 1.75 metres over 1609m at Hiawatha. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is good enough to take this out. MAJOR FERNCO N (8) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. WRY (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at Mohawk Park last time out.

Last start 4th over 1609m at Georgian Downs was 4th- at the bell, beaten 4 m by Smiling Dancer (1:52.00) in G on August 25 at $18.40. Two runs back 7th over 1609m at Hiawatha, at the bell was 7th- beaten 10 m by P L Oliver (1:53.00) in HCP on August 15 at $44.95. Better off investing elsewhere.

Didn't do much last start, 8th over 1609m at Georgian Downs was 5th- at the bell, beaten 9 m by Thumann (1:53.10) in G on August 18 at $9.40. Before that 4th over 1609m at Georgian Downs, at the bell was 4th- beaten 3 m by Belmont Blazer (1:52.40) in G on August 11 at $5.05. Not likely to trouble the top few.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing sixth behind Why Wouldnt Ya at Georgian Downs over 1609m in a HCP G on August 18 at $8.25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Waterloo at this track over 1609m in a G on August 28 at $12.30. Nicely placed to take this out.
