Grafton Race 4

Phil Mclennan Earthmoving 1-3w Ht 1 H

Prize Money: $2,335

SPITFIRE REIGN (1) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 4.5 lengths second over 350m at this track, clocking 20.29. Winning claims. BAREFOOT CREEPER (4) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at Casino over 411m behind Shandy's Birdie (24.04) in a Grade 5. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Should be about the mark. KAREN DUTTON (5) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was a Maiden winner two back at this track. Expected to do much better this time. CROSS STEP (2) can run a bold race on best form.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 20.29 over 350m at this track. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
