Grand River Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
RAISING SAND (4) was successful last start by 8 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Big chance in this comparable race. JITTERBUG FLIP (1) finished second last start, beaten 8 metres at this track over 1609m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. SENIOR ADVISOR (6) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at Georgian Downs. MAINTENANCE MAN (8) is in the mix following a respectable third at his first run back over 1609m at this track.
