Grand River Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $12,387

IDEAL PERCEPTION (3) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender based on recent form. WARRAWEEFORLAURA (1) again drew a wide gate last start and was never a threat, beaten 7 metres into eighth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. ENAVANT (2) comes right into contention after scoring last start by half a metre at this track over 1609m. ARTIE'S IDEAL (4) is better than his last-start tenth over 1609m at Mohawk Park.

The start before 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 5th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by D A Love Boat (1:50.10) in 5yo on June 7 at $26.20. Worth another chance.
