Grand River Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
STROKER (3) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last 12 starts including a second most recently at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. His recent form is good enough to put him right in the finish. D A LETS BOOGIE (8) was successful last time out by a neck at Mohawk Park over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role again. LYONS GUSTAVOFRING (2) should be ready to peak now after finishing eighth over 1609m at Mohawk Park a week-and-a-half ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. ARSON SEELSTER (6) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Flamboro Downs. Can bounce back.

Resuming after three-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into eighth behind Major Threat at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 5yo on February 28 at $57.35. One of the better hopes.

Returns from the paddock. His previous first-up run was successful when he won by 1.5 m at Mohawk Park (1:53.00) beating Captain Hurley in 5yo on April 28 2025 at $7.60. Will find this a tough assignment; prefer later.
