Grand River Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $13,378

BETTERNOTMACHME (1) ran fifth last start at Mohawk Park over 1609m, beaten 5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This is a nice drop in class so she is set to play a significant role. CHARMBO STORMY (2) scored by 3 metres at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m last start, the second win from her past three runs. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope in a similar race. FATED FIRE (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m. Genuine threat. SPORTS DUCHESS (3) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway on May 23.
