Capalaba Race 9

Annual Pest Management

Prize Money: $3,100

RUPEE MC GRAW (7) looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (26.15) at Grafton in a Grade 5. Has first look at box 7 this time. Has a good record at this journey. Leading chance again. BLAZING SMOKE (3) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 366m behind Go For Launch (20.61) in a Grade 3/4. Should be in this for a long way. DON'T SPEAK (2) won again in quick time to make it two in a row, scoring at Ipswich over 431m (25.26). Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Form should stack up. ZOOMING ZENA (1) is likely to have admirers.

Dual acceptor. Has finished seventh at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 5.5 lengths behind Big Suba over 366m. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
