Grand River Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
JUST FABULOUS (5) was in the money two runs ago then was about the mark again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 6 metres from the winner in second. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. BANKS A MILLION (10) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at Hanover Raceway. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Has the class to take care of this field. HEY TRIXEY (3) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1609m at Mohawk Park eight days ago. POPPIN BOTTLES (4) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at Pocono Downs on June 17.
