Grand River Raceway Race 3 - Race 3

IDEAL PERCEPTION (3) turned in another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to finish third over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. THE WRITER (2) was successful last time out by 2.25 metres in a far better performance at Georgian Downs over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. PIPEWRENCH CHARLIE (4) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. PRESTIGE SEELSTER (10) must be respected after scoring last start by a neck at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 8th over 1609m at this track was 8th- at the bell, beaten 5 m by R J Ringo (1:51.40) in G on June 22 at $24.65. Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.0 m at Georgian Downs (1:53.40) beating Shotgun Jerry in G on June 9 at $2.65 at the bell was leading. Sure to be about the money.
