Grand River Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $10,998

ROYALTY BEER (5) had been building to a win and it arrived at his latest appearance when he scored by 3.5 metres over 1609m at St Aime Des Lacs. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. VALUABLE MISS (3) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved her success last start, scoring by 0.8 metres over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she good enough to play a major role. TWIN B ARCHIE (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. MALONE (2) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at Kawartha Downs over 1609m.
