Grafton Race 3

Sunny Lodge 0-1 Win

Prize Money: $3,235

ALBERT'S RETURN (8) has hit the frame in both career runs, the latest when third (25.74) over 450m at this track. Close to a win and rates on top in this line up. NEED AN ALIBI (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 450m behind Nangar Rookie (25.96) in a Maiden. Was a winner the start prior. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Expected to run well. SANDAVE MASON (7) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Canya Wild (26.04) in a Maiden. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Can feature again. BUGATTI ROGUE (1) can find the frame without surprising.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished seventh in a Grade 5 on July 27 over 300m at Casino behind All On Wendy, beaten 11 lengths (17.80). Major threat on best form.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 10 length fourth over 525m at Taree Super Track. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 457m at Temora beaten 4.5 lengths (26.33) behind Pitstone Nicky in a Grade 5 on July 19. Fair run last start but needs to improve further.

Placed at both starts this track and trip. Latest effort finished 3rd on July 15 over 450m at this track behind Nangar Rookie beaten 4.5 lengths (25.74) in a Maiden. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
