Grand River Raceway Race 6 - Race 6
HP SOPHIA (1) was expected to do a lot more last time out when eighth, beaten 16 metres, over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender if her best form emerges. FIRE STRIDE (9) was responsible for a far better performance last time out, finishing second over 1609m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Recent efforts are good enough to put him right in the finish. TYMAL CZAR (4) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. HEARTHSTONE (7) is ready to improve after debuting with a respectable fourth last time out over 1609m at this track.
