Grand River Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
WALTER'S NIP (7) registered another win last time out over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway, getting home by 4.5 metres and maintaining his unbeaten record. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can go right on with the job. BETTOR TALKER (9) had to call on all reserves to salute at the most recent appearance over 1609m at Hiawatha, getting home by just half a metre. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. RED HOT POWERPLAY (4) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at Mohawk Park. INVINCIBLE HANOVER (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at Flamboro Downs on May 10.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite at Western Fair Raceway (1:56.00) beating Captain's Legacy in G on May 26 at $1.20 at the bell was leading. Two runs back won by 3.5 m as favourite at Western Fair Raceway (1:56.40) beating Jakes Panther in G on May 19 at $1.45 at the bell was leading. No reason he cannot score again.
