Grand River Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $9,665

VOLCANIC (4) made it two wins from his last five outings two weeks ago, getting home by one metre over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it two on the trot. SCRATCHIN AN ITCH (1) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 17 metres into sixth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. From this far better draw can take care of this field. MAGICAL AOINE (7) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. B JS CHOICE (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Hiawatha over 1609m.
