Grand River Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
QUICK TALK (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 7 metres at Kawartha Downs over 1609m. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. HIGH RISE HANOVER (5) finished second at his most recent outing, beaten one metre, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. AVALANCHE (6) should be at his peak for this. Finished sixth over 1609m at this track at the latest appearance a week ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. MCDOONALD (1) is a two-year-old gelding by Mcwicked from Cracklin Rosie on debut. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has the right credentials to play a major role.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing sixth behind Captain Cavalier at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 2yo CG on August 6 at $48.05. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.0 m finishing second behind Sir Galloway at this track over 1609m in a 2yo CG on August 19 at $5.05. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 5 m sixth behind Sir Galloway at this track over 1609m 2yo CG last start. Before that was beaten half a metre second again at this track same class on August 12. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
