Grand River Raceway Race 3 - Race 3
HOPES ETERNAL (5) is a two-year-old gelding from the S Weber stable on debut. Sure to prove tough to beat. DONTMINDMYMASS (1) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 30 metres into sixth at Hanover Raceway over 1609m. Big chance from this favourable draw if anywhere near her best. WALLKER CCL (6) should be ready to peak now after finishing second over 1609m at this track a week ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. FALLIN FOR MUSCLES (8) was beaten 6 metres on debut last start over 1609m at this track. Has plenty of scope for improvement.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Tirade Seelster at Hanover Raceway over 1609m in a 2yo F on July 18 at $2.85. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 2nd- beaten a neck by Stonebridge Belle (2:02.40) in 2yo F on July 8 at $3.20. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Two-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut 4th over 1609m at this track was 4th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Feet Of The Moon (1:59.40) on July 24 at $35.55. Will take a lot from that run and can play a part in the finish.
