GRAFTON LUCKY (4) led all the way last time out to score by 2 lengths (29.88) at this track in an A6 over 500m. The form from her last run stacks up well. Can continue on her winning ways. SALACRES MAY (3) lines up chasing another win after scoring over 500m at this track in 29.90, set up by a brilliant early sectional. Sure to measure up. THUNDERBOLT (1) finished well back at this track last time when a 3.5 lengths sixth (30.29) but scored five back at this track (30.09). The form out of last race has been strong. Bold showing expected. VINEGARHILL BLUE (5) is worth including.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow sixth (30.29) over 500m at this track. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into second over 270m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.

Flew the lids with a sizzling split and led throughout with a 2 length win over 500m at this track (29.88). Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but could manage only third (30.17) over 500m at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
