Grand River Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
VERACRUZ (1) continued a solid run of recent form when he scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by a head. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. THE FIXER (3) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the class to take care of this field. R ROYAL PORT (9) is in fine form with a couple of seconds recently, the latest at this track over 1609m. Capable of turning this good form into a well-deserved win. LOCATELLI (2) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Failed to impress last start; 7th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th- beaten 7 m by Tactical Strike (1:54.20) on August 3 at $47. Showed ability the outing before when he 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. Sure to be very competitive.

Solid run when a close second behind Veracruz at this track over 1609m on July 20 at $14.35. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Tactical Strike at this track over 1609m on August 3 at $11.40. Plenty to like about his prospects.
