Grand River Raceway Race 8 - Race 8

TACTICAL STRIKE (7) showed plenty of fight to score last start over 1609m at Mohawk Park, getting home by just 1.5 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. THE FIXER (2) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten a head. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. SHESAMANALISHI (4) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Mohawk Park last time out. ZIP ME UP (1) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind P L Robert G at Mohawk Park over 1609m on July 12 at $71.15. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Veracruz at this track over 1609m on July 20 at $14.35. Progressing well. Top prospects.

Last start 6th over 1609m at Clinton Raceway was 6th- at the bell, beaten 14 m by Royal Beluga (1:57.40) on July 19 at $3.35. Two runs back 7th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 8th- beaten 3 m by Roxie Hart (1:53.10) on July 12 at $82.60. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was leading by at the bell, beaten 4 m by Nasey (1:53.30) on July 26 at $7.70. The run previous 10th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was leading beaten a neck by Daffy Hanover (1:53.20) on July 12 at $3.30. Watch for a far better effort this time.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a head at this track (1:55.40) beating Dahlquist Hanover in on July 20 at $10 at the bell was 3rd-. Two runs back 4th over 1609m at this track was 3rd- at the bell, beaten 2.5 m by Debra (1:56.30) on July 13 at $16.80. Might find this too tough.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. Won by a 0.5 m at this track (1:55.30) beating Victor Invictus in on July 20 at $3.65 at the bell was leading. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 4 m finishing sixth behind Veracruz at this track over 1609m on July 13 at $6.80. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.
