Grand River Raceway Race 3 - Race 3
LYONS MOONSHADOW (5) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 18 metres into seventh at Mohawk Park over 1609m. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to prove tough to beat. END OF THE TRAIL (6) wasn't beaten all that far at his latest appearance over 1609m at Georgian Downs, beaten just 2.75 metres into fourth. Meets a similar line up and he can make amends. COUNTRY MAVERICK (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m. Must be included. CAR WASH BLUES (1) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on June 3.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Beach Keepers at this track over 1609m in a G on June 10 at $9.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Rough Deal at this track over 1609m in a G on June 17 at $12.75. Has the right credentials to take this out.

The run previous 8th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 8th- at the bell, beaten 8 m by Bajan Firefly (1:52.10) in 4yo on May 9 at $27.15. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 6 m as favourite at Hanover Raceway (2:00.40) beating D A Galloway in on June 13 at $1.35 at the bell was leading. Two runs back 4th over 1609m at Hanover Raceway, at the bell was 4th- beaten 6 m by Major Money (1:58.20) in 3yo CG on June 6 at $17.25. Impossible to entertain.
