Grand River Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
ASIAGO SEELSTER (6) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when he scored by 2 metres over 1609m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of making it two on end. STORMALONG (3) ran fifth last start at Tioga Downs over 1609m, beaten 16 metres. Expect him to be prominent. P L OLIVER (4) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago. LOU'S WORLD (10) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park.

Failed to impress last start; 5th over 1609m at this track was 4th- at the bell, beaten 2.5 m by P L Ozzy (1:50.30) in G on July 10 at $6.85. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 4 m as favourite at Georgian Downs (1:53.00) beating Harborlite Ambrose in G on June 23 at $1.15 at the bell was 2nd-. Sure to be very competitive.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd over 1609m at this track was 3rd- at the bell, beaten 2 m by Asiago Seelster (1:51.00) in G on July 10 at $3.50. Before that 3rd over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 4th- beaten 6 m by Chain Gang (1:49.40) in HCP on June 27 at $28.05. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a neck as favourite at this track (1:51.30) beating Instantaneous in G on July 6 at $2.30 at the bell was leading. Two runs back 2nd over 1609m at Georgian Downs, at the bell was leading beaten 4 m by Rb'stenacious T (1:53.00) in G on June 23 at $8.15. Hard to envisage a win.

Didn't do much at the last run, 10th over 1609m at Mohawk Park beaten 23 m by P L Ozzy (1:50.00) on May 30 at $124.40. Before that 4th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 3rd- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Bold Spirit (1:50.30) on May 17 at $18.70. Happy enough to dismiss.
