Grand River Raceway Race 8 - Race 8

BETTER THAN NEVER (3) produced another fine effort last start when he scored over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway, coming in half a metre ahead of his rivals. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope based on recent form. JUST ASK JOE (4) produced a better effort last start when runner-up over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway, beaten half a metre. This is a nice drop in grade so he is set to continue his resurgent form. SECRET SEAMUS (7) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway. Great chance to break through. PERFECT SMILEY (1) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at Hiawatha over 1609m.
