Grand River Raceway Race 10

Race 10

Prize Money: $14,573

JIMS FIRST DATE (5) produced a better effort last time out, finishing second over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. BETTOR TALKER (3) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. DR DAVE (1) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at Mohawk Park. KISS IN THE SKY (2) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at The Red Mile on August 18. Something for the Multiples: ERINWOOD BIG MACK (8)

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 8th- beaten 15 m by Exactly Correct (1:50.10) in 3yo CG on August 8 at $49.45. The run previous 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 2nd- at the bell, beaten 3 m by Illicit Behavior (1:50.10) in 3yo CG on August 1 at $28.25. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Failed to impress last start; 6th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 8th- beaten 7 m by Strongman Hanover (1:51.20) in G on August 26 at $7.75. Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.5 m at this track (1:52.10) beating No Waitlist in G on August 19 at $8.10 at the bell was leading. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th over 1609m at this track was 6th- at the bell, beaten 9 m by Strongman Hanover (1:51.20) in G on August 26 at $65.35. Before that 6th over 1609m at this track was 6th- at the bell, beaten 4 m by Bettor Talker (1:52.10) in G on August 19 at $53.05. Would rather see in something easier.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Major Miki at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 4yo on August 15 at $51.15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Secret Society at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 5yo on August 28 at $42.85. Capable of taking this out.
