Grand River Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
SPORTS CAPER (1) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 11 metres into seventh at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and from this favourable draw can make amends. BIG BOY BALLYKEEL (4) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 7 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. TWEETER TWIT (9) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. COUNTING PEBBLES (2) is a two-year-old gelding from the S Steacy yard on debut. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Well-placed to score at his first appearance.

Two-year-old gelding by Pebble Beach out of Literally Hanover having his first start. A bit of a push for him in early discussions is worth noting.
