Grand River Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $8,089

GINGER TREE FINNY (6) produced a better effort last start, finishing second over 1609m at Kawartha Downs. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. BATTERUP HANOVER (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 2 metres from the winner. Big chance in a similar line-up. SOUTHWIND SAMBUCCA (3) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. CANT STOP LOU (7) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on June 15.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th over 1609m at this track was 5th- at the bell, beaten 4 m by Mythic Gambler (1:52.30) in G on June 15 at $64.65. The run before 8th over 1609m at this track was 9th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Thumann (1:54.40) in G on June 8 at $40.65. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m third behind Parlay King at this track over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres sixth at Western Fair Raceway in on May 22. Rates highly so expect a bold run.
