Grand River Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
TRICKY MCWICKY (5) had to call on all reserves to salute at the most recent appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park, getting home by just 2 metres. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. IDEAL PERCEPTION (1) made it two wins from his last four appearances a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 2 metres over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. GRANITE BEACH (10) finished second at Western Fair Raceway last time. Consistent performer whose best form stacks up favourably so he must be included. ARTIE'S IDEAL (3) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.
