Grand River Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
SILVER SPIRIT (1) is in outstanding form with wins at his last three starts, most recently when he was too good over this track and distance three weeks ago. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Finds a tougher race but another success is on the cards. BAYFIELD BEACH (5) continued a solid run of recent form when he scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at Hiawatha, getting home by a head. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. MAGICAL ARTHUR (3) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. DRAGON YOU ALONG (9) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 1609m at this track.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing fourth behind Convoy Twenty Two at Mohawk Park over 1609m on June 29 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Drinkin Buddy at this track over 1609m on July 6 at $3.55. Sure to play a major role.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fifth behind Gypsy Joe at Georgian Downs over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 0.8 metres third at Kawartha Downs in on June 27. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
