Grand River Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
ASIAGO SEELSTER (2) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 9 metres into eighth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Finds a nice race and from this favourable draw can turn things around. VOLCANIC (4) finished eighth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can find winning ways. STRONGMAN HANOVER (6) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished third at this track over 1609m. LONGSHOT PANIC (3) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind National Tier at this track over 1609m in a 3yo CG on June 18 at $18.55. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Franco Santana at this track over 1609m in a G on July 16 at $53. Going along well.
