Grand River Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $12,304

IDEAL PERCEPTION (9) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.5 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Good enough to take out a race like this. SAUBLE ACE (7) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 2 metres, after a good third at Mohawk Park the run prior. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce straight back. ARTIE'S IDEAL (4) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. ENAVANT (1) is usually thereabouts and must be included following a last start fifth at this track.
