Grand River Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $15,561

R ROYAL PORT (1) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 0.8 metres from the winner. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take care of this line-up. VICTOR INVICTUS (4) has recorded three wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten half a metre. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. SERENITY CRUISE (8) is close to a win after two successive seconds, the latest over 1609m at this track. Capable of taking this out. BADEN BADEN (2) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.
