Grand River Raceway Race 3 - Race 3
GREAT TRICKSTER (8) was responsible for a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on August 14. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can get the job done again. SMORGASTARTA (9) won two back at this track from a nice gate. Drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 10 metres into fourth at Georgian Downs over 1609m. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to put herself back in the winners' stall. HALTON HILL (2) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SEEME ZOOM (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Thwarter at Georgian Downs over 1609m on August 8 at $2. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing third behind Great Trickster at this track over 1609m in a 3yo on August 14 at $6.10. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.3 m fourth behind Great Trickster at this track over 1609m 3yo last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres second again at this track in on July 31. Racing well and not without merit.
