Georgian Downs Race 9 - Race 9
GIN IS BETTER (4) turned in a strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Grand River Raceway. Won't find this any harder and she can take this out. GROOVY BABY YEAH (5) ran fifth last start at Grand River Raceway over 1609m, beaten 6 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. KAPTAIN KHLOE (2) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1609m at Grand River Raceway a week-and-a-half ago. SEASIDE FLIRT (1) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Didn't do much last start, 7th over 1609m at Grand River Raceway was 7th- at the bell, beaten 7 m by Stylish Stella (1:54.10) in FM on August 19 at $76.65. Before that 5th over 1609m at Clinton Raceway, at the bell was 6th- beaten 2.5 m by Lilly Clare (1:59.10) in FM on August 9 at $13.45. Hard to make a case.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th over 1609m at Grand River Raceway was 6th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Stylish Stella (1:54.10) in FM on August 19 at $21.90. The run before 7th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 7th- beaten 4 m by Gracie T (1:54.20) in FM on July 30 at $9.90. Happy to give her another try in this suitable contest.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m ninth behind Bestgirl In Town at Grand River Raceway over 1609m FM last start. Before that was beaten one metre third again at Grand River Raceway same class on August 7. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
