Grand River Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $13,378

BETTERNOTMACHME (5) is in good form at present. Finished third at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten a head. Meets a similar line up and she can take this out. SPORTS DUCHESS (6) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just a head from the winner. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. CHARMBO STORMY (3) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. LADIES FROM HELL (1) is worth some thought after her last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on June 4.
