Grafton Race 6

Prize Money: $3,415

GOLDSTAR TYSON (2) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 4 last run (25.64) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Overdue and expected to feature again. SHORTY BOY (8) was in the placings last time but prior to that he posted a brilliant 19.51 win over 340m at Gunnedah. Expecting another bold showing. CHERYL BLUE (4) prominent throughout and boxed on soundly to finish in the minors when second (30.54) at Gunnedah in NG. Yet to fire here from two runs. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature. MY WARRIOR (1) will give backers a sight.

Comments

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fifth (25.76) over 450m at this track. Solid claims this line-up.

Hit the frame latest (25.64) when second at this track in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Looks a leading chance.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Gunnedah over 527m. Last start finished 2nd over 527m at Gunnedah beaten 3 lengths (30.54) behind Molly Miss in a NG on July 25. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (20.29), beating Lumiere. Will find this a bit tougher, happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Gunnedah over 340m. Last start finished 3rd in a NG on July 25 over 340m at Gunnedah behind Payne Cargo beaten 4 lengths (19.86). Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
