Grand River Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
ANTEBELLUM (7) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last five starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Primary contender in a similar race. VISTA VERDE (9) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a return to the winner's list. MARCUS DOWN RIDGE (4) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Mohawk Park four days ago. FIRE THE ROCKET (3) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Failed to impress last start; 6th over 1609m at this track was 6th- at the bell, beaten 4 m by Longblacklimousine (1:57.10) on June 12 at $6.30. Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.8 m at this track (1:57.40) beating Antebellum in on June 5 at $6.20 at the bell was 4th-. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
