Grafton Race 8

Ladbrokes Odds Surge Heat 3 H

Prize Money: $2,335

JUST FOR KICKS (1) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won five times from six starts. Below best last time at this track (20.49) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Looks well placed and should feature. WHISKY ADDICTION (4) had been in great form but missed the frame latest when fifth (20.25) in a Grade 5 at this track. Drifted back and never in it from the wide draw. Form here at the trip sound including seven wins. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. Likely to be about the mark. EBONY VALLEY (8) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 8th at this track following on from a third place finish (20.35) there the start prior. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. One of the main contenders. FASCINATE MARK (7) is always a threat when he races at this journey.

Comments

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Yet to be beaten when drawn the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Has a superb 19.78 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth on September 11 over 350m at this track behind Moment Of Truth, beaten 6 lengths (20.41) in a Mix. Better off looking to others.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 6 length sixth over 350m at this track. Prepared to just watch this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (21.02) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length eighth. Placed at all two starts from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
