Georgian Downs Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $10,173

MARK THE MECHANIC (7) was successful last time out by one metre in a far better performance at Hiawatha over 1609m. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Meets a similar line up so he can add to the strong recent effort. HAPPY JEFF (1) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Hiawatha, beaten one metre. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. ORDINARY SUPERSTAR (3) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at Hiawatha a week ago. TALBOT PRANKSTER (6) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second at Hiawatha over 1609m.

Two-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut solid effort when 3rd over 1609m at Hiawatha was 5th- at the bell, beaten 1.0 m by Ibelieveinmiracles (1:57.30) in 2yo CG on August 22 at $4.65. Strong prospects.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Ibelieveinmiracles at Hiawatha over 1609m 2yo CG last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres third at Clinton Raceway same class on August 9. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
