Grand River Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $7,287

HP LIS SHADOW (3) was successful last start by 4.5 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. THE GREEK FREAK (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 0.8 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. REACTOR NOW (2) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 1609m. FLASH CUBE (5) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at Rideau Carleton Raceway on July 20.
