Grand River Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Stake: $9,122

MR COMMODORE (3) was responsible for a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at Flamboro Downs on May 29. Has the benefit of a good draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. NATIONAL TIER (4) has had two runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished ninth over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 11 metres. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. WICKED DANCER (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway. KOUNTRY GRACE (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4 metres at Flamboro Downs over 1609m.
