Grand River Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
ARM N HAMMER (1) won at Georgian Downs two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 4 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. THE GREAT GAZOO (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Georgian Downs, finishing third and just 0.8 metres from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park. BLACK SHANK (8) is usually thereabouts and must be included following a last start second at Mohawk Park.

Failed to impress last start; 5th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 2nd- at the bell, beaten 4 m by Great White North (1:55.00) in 2yo CG on August 23 at $4.55. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 3 m win at Georgian Downs (1:57.30) beating Graceful King in 2yo OPEN C on August 15 at $2.35 at the bell was leading. Strong winning hope.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fourth behind Save You A Seat at Georgian Downs over 1609m 2yo OPEN C last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres third at Mohawk Park in 2yo OPEN CG on August 2. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd over 1609m at Hanover Raceway was 4th- at the bell, beaten 3 m by Mr Predictable (2:04.40) on August 29 at $17.25. Before that beaten 30 metres, ninth at Mohawk Park over 1609m 2yo CG on August 23. Looks outclassed.
