Grand River Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $12,332

STORMALONG (6) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 11 metres. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. IDEAL PERCEPTION (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 2.25 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. JMR SPEAK AWAY (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.5 metres at Mohawk Park over 1609m. HARBORLITE AMBROSE (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by half a metre at Georgian Downs over 1609m.
