Grand River Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Stake: $8,466

BLUE STAR SAPPHIRE (7) finished seventh last start over 1609m at Georgian Downs, beaten 5 metres, after a good third at this track the run prior. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Certainly cannot be faulted after that last effort. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. EARLYBIRD SPECIAL (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Clinton Raceway, finishing second and just 1.3 metres from the winner. Has the benefit of a good draw. Steps up a level but she is good enough to take this out. FUNNY BUSINESS (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. OUTLAWKISSMYCLASS (1) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Solid run when a close second behind Bluebird Recon at Clinton Raceway over 1609m on July 5 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Little T at Clinton Raceway over 1609m in a FM on July 19 at $2.35. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 5 m seventh behind Bestgirl In Town at Georgian Downs over 1609m FM last start. Before that was beaten 1.3 metres third at this track same class on June 24. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th over 1609m at Georgian Downs was 6th- at the bell, beaten 8 m by Ys Flowernumberten (1:55.20) in FM on July 11 at $14.85. Before that 4th over 1609m at Georgian Downs was 4th- at the bell, beaten 2 m by Acefortyfour Coco (1:56.10) in FM on July 4 at $2.05. Unlikely to make an impression.
