Grafton Race 4

Grafton District Services Club Masters

Prize Money: $2,410

CARRAMAR DRIVE (1) boasts a consistent overall record including 22 wins from 58 starts, the latest winning (19.08) over 331m at Albion Park. Solid record at the distance winning 11 races. Has the inside draw and looks tough to beat. DARK FATE (3) clocked a decent 20.05 when winning over 350m at this track last start. Should be in this for a long way. BURN THE EDGE (7) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths (20.17) behind DARK FATE at this track. Well-placed to take this out. TRUE CHARACTER (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Missed the frame latest (20.29) when fourth over 350m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and six places from 14 starts. Looks one of the chances.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (20.17) at this track over 350m. Leading contender.
