Grand River Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
LYONS PAPI ROCK (1) showed plenty of fight to salute last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just half a metre. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. THIRTY SIX RED (4) is racing well with 11 top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Hiawatha over 1609m. This is a nice drop in grade so he is set to continue his impressive recent form. DAD (3) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. ERINWOOD BIG MACK (8) should be at his peak at the fourth run back from a spell, the latest outing a second at this track a week ago.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Georgian Downs both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.5 m at this track (1:53.20) beating Erinwood Big Mack in G on July 29 at $8.90 at the bell was 4th-. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fifth behind Lyons Papi Rock at this track over 1609m G last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at this track same class on July 22. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Solid run when a close third behind Dr Dave at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 3yo CG on July 11 at $27.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.0 m finishing third behind Exactly Correct at Hiawatha over 1609m in a 3yo OPEN C on July 25 at $12.40. This race appears well within his grasp.
