Grand River Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
MAGGIES TOUCH (3) finished runner-up last start, beaten 1.75 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up so she is capable of taking this out. GREEK MANALISHI (4) finished second at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at her latest appearance over 1609m at Hanover Raceway, beaten 25 metres. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a big race. LANCELOT (5) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at Georgian Downs last time out. LIFTING LEGEND (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound second at Hanover Raceway over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.3 m second behind Great Trickster at Hanover Raceway over 1609m 3yo C last start. Before that was beaten a neck second at Clinton Raceway in 3yo CG on July 5. Racing well and not without merit.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Yankee Boost at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 5yo on June 22 at $84.45. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Pats Queen at this track over 1609m on July 24 at $2.35. Capable of a strong showing.

Didn't do much last time out, 5th over 1609m at Georgian Downs, at the bell was 7th- beaten 9 m by Shakeout Hanover (1:59.30) on July 25 at $18.90.
