Grand River Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
BETTOR TALKER (3) recent form has been hard to fault. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by half a metre. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. CAPTAIN'S LEGACY (1) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. LUNAR SPORT (6) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at Hiawatha last time out. KAPTAINKRAVE (2) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at Kawartha Downs over 1609m.

Four-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.5 m as favourite at this track (1:53.30) beating Callsign Rooster in G on July 29 at $2.40 at the bell was 2nd-. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.

Showed a glimmer of form last time 2nd over 1609m at Georgian Downs, at the bell was 3rd- beaten 1.5 m by Probability (1:53.10) in G on August 4 at $87.10. But The start before was well beaten into fifth behind Could Be King at Georgian Downs over 1609m in a G on July 28 at $25.60. Has failed to show enough.
