Grand River Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
CHUCKY BOVINO (7) was without a win before he improved last start to score by 3 metres over 1609m at this track a week ago. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. TALBOT PRANKSTER (1) scored at Hiawatha two runs ago before having his colours lowered when second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Dresden Raceway, beaten half a metre. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. LYONS SCOOTING (2) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SPARE (6) could only finish eighth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
