Grand River Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
GOLDRUSH KING (4) finished fourth at Georgian Downs two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at Clinton Raceway, beaten 17 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can finish a lot closer this time. BENJAMIN BLUE CHIP (3) turned in a poor effort by his standards last time out when 10 metres away in eighth over 1609m at Kawartha Downs. Form prior to that had been solid. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Steps up a level but he is good enough to turn things around. LMC UNCLE JOHN (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at Georgian Downs last time out. BUFFED (5) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1609m at Georgian Downs on August 15.
