Grand River Raceway Race 3 - Race 3
AUSSIE PHAROAH (6) was responsible for a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at Georgian Downs on August 29. Primary contender in a similar race. THE DANCING KING (1) was in the money at Georgian Downs two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a suitable assignment and can make amends. ORDINARY SUPERSTAR (2) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at Georgian Downs last time out. SPIRITOFTHEECLIPSE (5) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound second at Hiawatha over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 5 m seventh behind High Rise Hanover at Mohawk Park over 1609m 2yo CG last start. Before that was beaten 2 metres third at Georgian Downs in 2yo C on August 29. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fifth behind Strike The Pose at Georgian Downs over 1609m 2yo C last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres second at Hiawatha in 2yo CG on August 22. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 2 m as favourite at Georgian Downs (1:54.20) beating Colombo Ray in 2yo C on August 29 at $1.35 at the bell was leading. Two runs back won by 2.25 m as favourite at Hiawatha (1:57.20) beating Ordinary Superstar in 2yo CG on August 22 at $1.80 at the bell was leading. Has the ability to play a major role.
