Grand River Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Stake: $10,630

REIGNING CAPTAIN (5) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 3 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. DIAMOND RYDER (4) has drawn wide in recent runs. Did a fine job last time out when third over 1609m at this track. His recent form is full of merit. Good enough to put himself right in the finish. HIGHLAND HOT SAUCE (1) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track nine days ago. CLINTS VETT (6) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at Georgian Downs. Can turn things around.

Failed to impress last start; 8th over 1609m at Georgian Downs beaten 23 m by Harborlite Ambrose (1:52.10) in G on June 29 at $9.85. Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.8 m as favourite at Georgian Downs (1:53.10) beating Harborlite Ambrose in G on June 10 at $2.50 at the bell was leading.
