Grand River Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
VIMY RIDGE EPONA (8) made a winning return at her latest appearance a week ago, getting home by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a comparable field and she can make it two for two this time in work. GREEK MANALISHI (6) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 19 metres into seventh at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Has the ability to find the winners' list. IAMTHAT SPECIAL (7) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at Flamboro Downs. Should run a big race. SNEAKING OUT (1) is in the mix following a fourth at her first run back over 1609m at Georgian Downs.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 7th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 6th- at the bell, beaten 19 m by Hp Crystaline (1:55.40) in 3yo OPEN F on May 24 at $10.75. The run previous 10th over 1609m at Mohawk Park beaten 30 m by Mass Deployment (1:54.10) in 5yo on May 18 at $19.20. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Thwarter at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m in a 3yo F on May 15 at $26.35. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Thwarter at Flamboro Downs over 1609m in a 3yo F on May 30 at $13.20. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.

Last start 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 7th- beaten 7 m by Captain Willie (1:57.30) in 4yo on June 1 at $9.05. Two runs back won by a 0.5 m at Flamboro Downs (2:) beating Willie Boy in on May 21 at $3.05 at the bell was 2nd-. Unlikely to make an impression.
