Grand River Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $8,291

DANCELIKE EHSKIPPR (2) was successful at his most recent outing by 0.8 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. His recent effort is good enough to take out a race like this. BETTOR ON ICE (4) again drew a wide gate last start but produced a strong effort, beaten 0.8 metres into third at this track over 1609m. Won't find this any harder and he can turn the recent form around. PUNCHESINBUNCHES (5) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at Mohawk Park last time out. SPORTY BEE (3) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
