Grand River Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
BESTGIRL IN TOWN (6) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at her last 11 starts including a third most recently at Georgian Downs over 1609m. Leading hope in this comparable race. WAITINONAWOMAN (9) recorded another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Big chance based on those recent efforts. WINDEMERE CLASSIE (5) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park eight days ago. STILTON GOLD (3) must be respected after scoring last start by 3 metres at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: BEACH JOURNEY (1)

10-year-old mare showed improvement last start. 2nd over 1609m at Hiawatha was leading by at the bell, beaten a neck by Shady Memories (1:57.20) in FM on August 1 at $2.60. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Tj Bliss at Georgian Downs over 1609m in a FM on July 21 at $5.40. Can't make much of a case.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.75 m fifth behind Allstar Willow at Georgian Downs over 1609m FM last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fifth again at Georgian Downs same class on July 4. Racing well and not without merit.

Solid run when a close second behind Allstar Willow at Georgian Downs over 1609m in a FM on July 11 at $6.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Gimmie A Corona at Georgian Downs over 1609m in a FM on July 25 at $4. Sure to play a significant role.
