Grand River Raceway Race 2 - Race 2

ROYALTY BEER (3) finished third at St Aime Des Lacs over 1609m last time out, failing to live up to his warm favouritism. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. BUTTINSKI (4) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 8 metres into eighth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Has the ability to take care of this field. LIKE CHAOS (9) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Hanover Raceway over 1609m. PAJAMAS OPTIONAL (2) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.
