Grand River Raceway Race 5 - Race 5

CAPTAIN WANIA (3) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at Georgian Downs, getting home by 1.75 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender based on recent form. PINEWOOD HANOVER (6) has drawn wide in recent runs. Failed to feature last time out when fifth over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Tackles a similar assignment and he can turn in a much better performance. MYRETIREMENTDREAM (1) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1609m at Mohawk Park a week ago. ESPLOSIONE (8) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Five-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Georgian Downs both over 1609m. Last start won by 1.75 m as favourite at Georgian Downs (1:56.20) beating Castel Lindy in on August 4 at $1.75 at the bell was leading. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Shampoo Girl at this track over 1609m on August 3 at $3.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Oh Boy at this track over 1609m on August 10 at $5.60. Capable of testing this line-up.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing fourth behind Victor Invictus at this track over 1609m on August 3 at $28.15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Djimon at this track over 1609m on August 10 at $10.40. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th over 1609m at this track was 7th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Locatelli (1:54.40) on August 10 at $35.75. Before that 5th over 1609m at this track was 7th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Tactical Strike (1:54.20) on August 3 at $10.45. Others have better credentials.
