Grafton Race 4

Phil Mclennan Earthmoving

Prize Money: $2,515

CATCH MY SHADOW (5) was in the money last time at Casino (17.26) in a Grade 4, finishing a 3 length third. Has already won two times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close. SILENT MINUTE (7) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 4/5 at Gosford. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from on outside draw. Can find the frame this time. KINGSBRAE REX (1) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 450m behind Blow Bayou (25.92) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Should be in this for a long way. MARCO MARCO (4) warrants respect with the drop in journey.

Missed the frame latest (25.92) when sixth over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Fast starter. Last start finished eighth in a Grade 5 on June 25 over 484m at Casino behind Country Form, beaten 17 lengths (28.95). Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (22.64) over 390m at Shepparton. Tricky draw to overcome and will need a little luck to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at Richmond (23.21) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 8 length fourth. Placed at all two starts from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Missed the frame latest (17.74) when seventh over 300m at Casino in a Grade 4. Yet to miss the frame from seven starts from the draw, including five wins. Tough line-up and may struggle.
