Grafton Race 5

Vamoose @ Stud Heat 1 H

Prize Money: $2,310

KIA MCGRAW (1) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and four placings from 11 starts. Recorded a 0.8 lengths win (25.50) in a Grade 4/5 last time at this track. Looks suited and should go close. ROCKY PEPPER (5) hit the frame here last time and looks a chance again. CHAD'S A STAR (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a second place finish (25.80) there the start prior. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Has the ability to give this a shake. VELOCIOUS (4) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - solid claims again.

Placed last time (20.34) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Key chance and should go close.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (20.40) over 350m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and prefer the place this line-up.
