Grand River Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $10,173

NAKED FARMER (4) made it two wins from his last four outings two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2.75 metres over 1609m at Georgian Downs. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. CASTELLANO (1) made it four wins in succession last start, getting home by 4 metres over 1609m at Clinton Raceway. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. That recent form is good enough to put him right in the finish. THE KINGS GUARD (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Clinton Raceway a week-and-a-half ago. IRISH EXIT (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 4 m at Clinton Raceway (2:03.40) beating Wolfpack Doc in 2yo C on August 23 at $1.05 at the bell was leading. Two runs back posted a big 11 m win as favourite at Hippodrome 3R (2:02.40) beating Chapter For Speed in on August 13 at $1.05 at the bell was leading. Rates highly. Big chance.

Well beaten last start by Castellano, who he meets again; when 18 metres fifth at Clinton Raceway over 1609m in a 2yo C race on August 23. Can't have on that basis.
