Grand River Raceway Race 5 - Race 5

EARLY PLAY (2) made it two on the trot last start when he got the cash by a neck over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. B STONEY (1) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by a neck. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a nice race and can chalk-up the hat-trick. SHOW STOP (3) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 3 metres at Hiawatha over 1609m. DONT POKE THE BEAR (9) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.
