Grand River Raceway Race 3 - Race 3
YOURASTRANGEANIMAL (9) was out of the money two runs back at this track then was at his best last start to score by 2.25 metres over 1609m at Hiawatha. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. SPARE (1) registered a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. CHUCKY BOVINO (6) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. CARSONS WICKED ONE (5) cannot be left out after registering a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at this track two weeks ago.
