Georgian Downs Race 8 - Race 8
VERTICAL SQUIRT (9) finished ninth last start, beaten 9 metres at this track over 1609m. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. DANCINTHROUGHDAWN (5) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just half a metre from the winner. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. MAKE IT COME TRUE (2) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. CLAYMORE (4) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back won by a nose as favourite at Hanover Raceway (2:00.10) beating Shillahs Joy in on July 4 at $2.05 at the bell was leading. Last start just missed, solid effort when 2nd over 1609m at this track, at the bell was leading beaten 0.5 m by Alchemy Hanover (1:56.20) in G on July 7 at $5. Capable of testing this line-up.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th over 1609m at Grand River Raceway was 7th- at the bell, beaten 18 m by Chase The Cheddar (1:56.30) in G on June 19 at $39.95. Before that 4th over 1609m at Hanover Raceway was 4th- at the bell, beaten 4 m by Lostthatlovinfeeln (2:01.30) in G on June 6 at $6.10. Might find this lot a bit smart.
