Grand River Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
T'S ACTION (5) ran fifth last start at Tioga Downs over 1609m, beaten 5 metres. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. CALIFORNIA KING (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. HEFF (4) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. CONTEST (2) last appeared when eighth over 1609m at Mohawk Park a year ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Tioga Downs beaten 5 m by The Drinker (1:58.40) in NW1PMLTCD on August 22 at $31.24. The run previous 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Monticello Raceway beaten 25 m by Brickyard Winnie (2:01.20) in NW300PSL5 on August 17 at $19.08. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.
