Grand River Raceway Race 9 - Race 9

CHIP HAPPENED (3) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 8 metres into sixth at Georgian Downs over 1609m. This doesn't look as hard so from a nice draw he is in the right race to score. WONDROUS BLUE CHIP (4) was responsible for a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on July 25. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. VIMY RIDGE VENTI (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. WHEELIN N STEALIN (7) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
