Grafton Race 10

Valley Protective Services Heat 1 H

Prize Money: $3,135

ULTIMATE ETHICS (2) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 5 lengths at this track in a handy 25.25 beating Miss Pollywood. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of the key runners again. MAGIC DEUCE (1) crossed from out wide chasing down the leaders to score by 2 lengths (25.57) at this track in Grade 5 over 450m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Can make it back-to-back wins. NANGAR ZARA (6) has a strong record this trip with five wins and two placings from 10 starts. Comes off a (25.39) win last time, scoring by a nose in a Grade 5 over 457m at Q Lakeside. Looks one of the chances. PAW SAPPHIRE (8) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Could only manage sixth last time but had been in the money the two starts prior, most recently when a narrow second (19.78) over 350m at Traralgon. Drawn out wide and needs to bounce back.
