Grand River Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
ARSON SEELSTER (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 6 metres into seventh at Flamboro Downs over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position. Leading hope if anywhere near his best. LYONS FIRSTBULLDOG (4) ran seventh last start at Mohawk Park over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. RIP THE PAGE (5) is a genuine type who was a solid fourth most recently at Mohawk Park. Must be included in what looks a suitable assignment. JULIUS HANOVER (3) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at Flamboro Downs over 1609m.

The run previous 7th over 1609m at Flamboro Downs was 7th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Artie's Ideal (1:54.20) on May 10 at $27.65. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m third behind Nugget Hugit at Flamboro Downs over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres fourth again at Flamboro Downs same class on May 10. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Resumed when over this distance beaten 13 m seventh behind Johnny Angel at Mohawk Park in a 3yo OPEN CG on May 22. Big chance if he can build on his first-up effort.

Last start 4th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 3rd- beaten 8 m by Johnny Angel (1:51.30) in 3yo OPEN CG on May 22 at $46.75. Before that, failed to finish when he ran at Western Fair Raceway on May 12 over 1609m. Solid top-three chance.

Well beaten last start by Arson Seelster, a rival who he faces again; when 100 metres at Flamboro Downs over 1609m in a G race on May 3. Can't see him featuring.

Two runs back 6th over 1609m at Flamboro Downs was 6th- at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Arson Seelster (1:55.20) in G on May 3 at $32.40. Happy enough to dismiss.
