Grafton Race 5

Phil Mclennan Earthmoving

Prize Money: $3,315

MAGICAL SAIDE (8) goes very well at the distance with four wins and a placing from 10 starts. Was out of placings last time (25.93) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Looks a leading chance on best. PRINCE OF PERSIA (3) is better than last start when fourth (30.42) in a Grade 5 at Q Parklands over 520m. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MOST DETERMINED (6) struggled for best form latest, finishing 5th (20.25) in a Grade 5 at this track. Goes very well at course and distance boasting four wins. Form from his last run is proving very strong. Worth another chance. MISS POLLYWOOD (2) looks an each-way chance.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by half a length at this track over 350m (20.09) beating Barley Charlie in Grade 5 on April 26. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Was out of placings last time (17.91) at Taree Super Track in a Grade 3/4, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks a place chance at best.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (20.31) beating Tyketto in a Grade 5 on April 12. Major threat on best form.

Working her way into winning form after her success on April 7 at this track over 450m. Last start was fifth over 450m in 25.93, behind Rina Dutton. Has an exceptional 25.21 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
