Grand River Raceway Race 5 - Race 5

BETTOR TALKER (5) made it two wins from his last three runs three weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 metres over 1609m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. LYONS MOONSHADOW (4) finished second last start over 1609m at Georgian Downs, beaten 1.3 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can give this a mighty shake. CALLSIGN ROOSTER (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Georgian Downs over 1609m. Genuine threat. NUGGET HUGIT (6) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Goin For Broke at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 4yo on July 13 at $30.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Lyons Papi Rock at Georgian Downs over 1609m in a G on July 21 at $23.10. Plenty to like about his prospects.
