Grafton

Racing well recently. At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 9 at Coffs Harbour Cl3 on June 29 over 1215m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Sammy Conquers All with 55kg at $9.50. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Port Macquarie Ctry Bm58 on June 15 over 1208m, slow going 2.25 len behind Via Vegas with 59.5kg at $4.80. Made headway last time. Has ability and is one of the major players.

Dual acceptor. Most recently 5th of 11 at Rosehill Highway-C3 on June 28 over 1500m, 3 len behind Red Rags To Bulls with 56.5kg at $19. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len at Casino Cl3 May 30 over 1400m in the wet defeating He's A Copy Boy with 58kg at $9. Should prove hard to beat.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 7 at Gosford Cg&E Bm64 on June 19 over 1600m, slow going 3.5 len behind Loose Love carrying 57kg at $14. Before that 4th of 11 at Casino Cl3 on May 30 over 1400m, in the wet; 2.5 len behind Monte Maximus carrying 58.5kg at $9.50. One of the major players.

Recent form sound. At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.6 len at Port Macquarie Ctry Mdn-Sw June 24 over 1509m on a soft track defeating Gold Puma carrying 59kg at $2.05. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Ballina Mdn-Sw on June 12 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 0.7 len behind Risk For Reward with 59kg at $7. Found form and should be thereabouts again.

At the latest run 3rd of 14 at Taree Bm58 on June 30 over 1250m, slow going 2 len behind Smart Jazz with 55kg at $3.50. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 11 at Port Macquarie Cl2 on June 15 over 1512m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Supreme Command with 55kg at $9. Don't dismiss.

At the latest run sat on the pace when 3rd of 10 at Tamworth Bm58 Cl2+ on July 4 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Gold Smiles with 57.5kg at $8.50. The race before that didn't do much in the run home; 6th of 10 at Coffs Harbour F&M Bm58 on June 20 over 1005m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Boambee Beach with 60kg at $4.60. One for the exotics.

Second run back. First-up after 11 months 6th of 14 at Tamworth Cl3 on June 27 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind To Be Frank with 60kg at $26. Previously second-up ran last of 10 at Wyong Bm64 on June 27 2024 over 1350m, slow going 9 len behind Osman carrying 60kg at $26. Strips fitter and is among the chances.

Last start ran last of 9 at Coffs Harbour Cl3 on June 29 over 1215m, slow going 9 len behind Sammy Conquers All carrying 60.5kg at $19. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track Cl3 on June 9 over 1125m, slow going 4 len behind Hidden Melody carrying 60kg at $21. Will need to improve sharply.

Resuming after a break of five months. Finished off last preparation eighth of 10 at Newcastle Prov Bm64 February 15 over 1880m, 17 len behind Binkou carrying 55kg at $17. When resuming last campaign third of 9 at Newcastle Mid Cl1 November 27 over 1400m, 4 len behind Prince Of Sorts with 55.5kg at $41. Cannot make a strong case.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 11th of 13 at Coffs Harbour Cg&E Bm58 on June 20 over 1005m, on a wet track; 13 len behind Soobooco with 57.5kg at $51. Second run from a spell ran last of 12 at this track Ctry Cl3 on July 6 over 1115m, 13 len behind Tryanza with 55kg at $201. Likely to struggle.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 10 at Taree Bm66 on June 5 over 1000m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind Telegraph with 55kg at $61. Second run from a spell 5th of 12 at Port Macquarie Ctry Bm58 on June 24 over 1206m, slow going 5.5 len behind Buck Pharoah carrying 55kg at $31. Outclassed.
