Michael Bozich’s Grand River Selections: Friday, July 26, 2019
Best Bet - (1) MORNEAU - Race 5
Spot Play - (4) AZUCAR PIPEDREAM - Race 7
Early Pick 4 - 4,7,8/1,2/1,3,9/3,4,5,6 = $14.40
Late Pick 4 - 4,9/5,6/1,2,7/1,3,9 = $7.20


Race 1 - (4) EVEN LOUDER showed speed in her debut against stakes types two back before racing evenly from poor position in her latest. She gets post improvement here. (6) SHE THE NORTH is another that gets class relief and has some speed. (2) EXPRESS WRITER gets a passing grade in her qualifier and draws well on debut.

Race 2 - (4) VIMY RIDGE VENUS was much improved last out against stakes competition. The move back to overnights should help her chances immensely. (2) CADENCE SEELSTER has been racing fine off the tempo in her last few. She draws well and should be up close tonight. (1) LATTE DATTE drops after racing evenly against stakes competition.

Race 3 - (8) PRICELESS SUNSHINE left for position against tougher and got shuffled for his efforts. He draws poorly but gets a manageable field. (7) FARROS REIGN is another that enjoys class relief but draws poorly. He should be winging from the word go, however. (4) SUNDOWN KID picked off a tired group last out. With the outside two figuring to leave, this could set up for him again.

Race 4 - (2) FRENCH TWIST showed speed two back and got shuffled a bit vs. tougher. He should enjoy the class relief here. (1) MARBELLOS gets post relief after closing well on debut. He should have the needed striking range to contend here. (3) DUMB IS FOREVER enjoys major post relief in his second lifetime start. He should move forward a bit.

Race 5 - (1) MORNEAU raced much better last out on a helmet. He draws well and should be brave off that effort. (9) LAST THREE never had position in either of his first two starts. He gets needed class and post relief. (3) BET THE LIMIT followed live cover in his last but ultimately faltered. He meets easier tonight.

Race 6 - (4) SAUBLE BONNIE had something go amiss last start, but she is back in quick for a good stable. Her effort two back wins this. (5) STONEBRIDGE LOYAL continues to ride a good form spree. She is versatile as well. (3) P L LIGHTNING is another that has been red hot as of late. She draws well once again. (6) COLD CREEK LACEY made a sharp middle bid but tired in her last. She can contend with another step forward in form. (9) MYSTIC SEELSTER is another that is enjoying improved form as of late. We may have rated higher if it wasn’t for the second tier starting spot.

Race 7 - (4) AZUCAR PIPEDREAM had no shot from post 9 in her latest. She likes to be on the lead, and the move to conditioned claimers could make that speed hold up a long way. (9) COME ON OVER gets Henry back after a good try last out. She should be in good position once again. (3) LILY DANCER secured cheques in her last three while showing moderate late speed. She fits well on the bottom of your tickets.

Race 8 - (6) EVAS BEST GIRL stayed inside last time against tougher and raced well to the wire. She has sneaky speed and may put it to good use here. (5) WAR FILLY loomed boldly against tougher in her latest. She is taking a major plunge in class tonight. (7) CHEEKIE nearly beat a tougher group two starts back. A return to that effort puts her close.

Race 9 - (2) LEADEROFTHEPACK certainly lives up to his name on most occasions. He should bounce back from last week where he was never involved from a poor post. (1) MRSTERY BEAR left against tougher two starts back from a poor post. She broke in her last and figures to rebound. (7) ASA ONAMISSION debuts for a stable that wins at a high percentage first off the claim. He is sporting sharp form to boot.

Race 10 - (9) SR BEACH BABE’s versatility should assist her tremendously from this second tier starting spot. Her form speaks for itself. (1) ZEALOUS SEELSTER is another that has sharp form. She figures to be the one to beat from this post. (3) SO LONG SUGAR could be in a position to benefit from a hot pace here. She has raced well since being claimed four back. (6) FRIENDS TO THE END is another that does her best racing from off the pace. She will need some racing luck from this spot. (7) CLASSIC BLACKJACK has enough late speed to pick off some tired rivals for a minor share.
