Grand River Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $8,757

LIFE AS IT COMES (2) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 9 metres into eighth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. This is a nice drop in grade so from a favourable draw he is in the right race to score. RAMIRO (6) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 2 metres from the winner. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. MUSKIE MAN (5) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. UNCLE DOUGLAS (8) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.
