Grand River Raceway Race 8 - Race 8

MARK THE MECHANIC (3) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Georgian Downs, finishing second and just a nose from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to take out a race like this. POWNALBAY ANDREW (4) has been racing very well and deserved his success last start, scoring by half a metre over 1609m at Georgian Downs. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. TALBOT PRANKSTER (1) can break his way into the winner's list after recording a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at Georgian Downs two weeks ago. ALLSTAR SHOTS (6) has put the writing on the wall with a couple of seconds recently, the latest at Georgian Downs over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m third behind Strike The Pose at Georgian Downs over 1609m 2yo C last start. Before that was beaten half a metre second at Hiawatha in 2yo CG on August 22. Racing well and not without merit.

Last start 7th over 1609m at Georgian Downs was 5th- at the bell, beaten 5 m by Pownalbay Andrew (1:56.30) in 2yo C on August 29 at $8.65. Two runs back won by a 0.5 m at Hiawatha (1:57.30) beating Talbot Prankster in 2yo CG on August 22 at $7.20 at the bell was leading. Win doesn't look likely.

In good form recently. Last start won by a 0.5 m at Georgian Downs (1:56.30) beating Allstar Shots in 2yo C on August 29 at $5.05 at the bell was 6th-. Sure to prove tough to beat again.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Awefully Fast at Hanover Raceway over 1609m in a 2yo on August 15 at $3.55. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Pownalbay Andrew at Georgian Downs over 1609m in a 2yo C on August 29 at $16.85. Big run expected.

Last start 5th over 1609m at Hiawatha was 5th- at the bell, beaten 11 m by Ea Bank Note (1:55.20) on September 5 at $42.40. Two runs back 5th over 1609m at Hiawatha, at the bell was 5th- beaten 7 m by Aussie Pharoah (1:57.20) in 2yo CG on August 22 at $10.85. Unlikely to make an impression.
