Grand River Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
TWIN B DUNKIN (1) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 10 metres into seventh at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and from this nice draw can turn things around. AVALANCHE (2) made a good start to his career a week ago, beaten 8 metres into third over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Won't find this any harder and he can make the breakthrough. QUICK TALK (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Kawartha Downs. SIR GALLOWAY (9) is a two-year-old colt from the Z Carroll stable on debut. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 7th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 4th- beaten 10 m by Just Keep Flying (1:51.30) in 2yo CG on August 6 at $59.90. The start before 8th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 6th- beaten 19 m by Nineleven Hanover (1:52.30) in 2yo CG on July 19 at $62.55. Expecting a spike in form this time.

Two-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut game effort when 3rd over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 5th- beaten 8 m by Aussie Pharoah (1:55.30) in 2yo CG on August 5 at $27.35. Likely improver who can build on the first-up effort.
