Grand River Raceway Race 7 - Race 7
LIFTING LEGEND (5) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 4 metres into eighth at Hiawatha over 1609m. Meets a comparable field and he can finish a lot closer this time. GREAT TRICKSTER (6) made it two wins from his last three outings five days ago, getting home by one metre over 1609m at this track. Has the class to make it back-to-back wins. NORTHERN GENIUS (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park six days ago. TOTALLY ICONIC (3) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at Hiawatha last time out.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Halton Hill (1:57.40) on September 4 at $12.90. Before that 7th over 1609m at Georgian Downs was 6th- at the bell, beaten 6 m by The Conqueror (2:00.30) on August 22 at $64. Hard to recommend on recent form.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Muscle Fashion at Georgian Downs over 1609m on August 18 at $26. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Super Green at Hiawatha over 1609m in a 3yo CG on August 29 at $17.05. Capable of a strong showing.
