Grand River Raceway Race 9 - Race 9
CHEESE DREAMS (2) resumes from a spell of 11 months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. INTUIT BIG (3) made it two wins from his last three outings two weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. PANIC RAY (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished third at Georgian Downs over 1609m. LYONS MOONSHADOW (7) finished fifth at this track last time. Consistent and deserves respect.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th over 1609m at Georgian Downs, at the bell was 9th- beaten 7 m by Windor (1:52.30) in G on August 11 at $75. Before that 7th over 1609m at this track was 7th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by Bettor Talker (1:53.30) in G on July 29 at $29.40. Not doing enough to threaten the top few.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind Golddiamond at Hippodrome 3R over 1609m on August 2 at $13.25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing third behind Chow For Now at Georgian Downs over 1609m in a G on August 11 at $9.70. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
