Grand River Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: $7,630

NO PLAN INTENDED (2) turned in another fine effort last start when he finished second over 1609m at Georgian Downs, beaten a nose. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. DOCS ROCK (5) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 8 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. LORD ANTHONY (7) is close to a win after two successive seconds, the latest over 1609m at this track. Capable of taking this out. PUFFS LAST SHADOW (1) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 1.75 m at Hiawatha (1:55.20) beating Bluebird Recon in G on August 8 at $8.50 at the bell was 4th-. Two runs back 3rd over 1609m at Georgian Downs, at the bell was 6th- beaten 1.3 m by Ara You Crazy (1:56.30) in G on July 28 at $35.10. Impossible to tip with any confidence.

Last start 2nd over 1609m at Hiawatha was leading by at the bell, beaten 1.75 m by Smart Thinking (1:55.20) in G on August 8 at $2.25. Two runs back 5th over 1609m at Clinton Raceway, at the bell was 2nd- beaten 6 m by No Plan Intended (1:57.20) on July 26 at $6.75. Might find this too tough.
