Grafton Race 5

Prize Money: $2,490

ANNIHILATING (8) hit the ground running from the squeeze draw with a slick early split, holding on for a minor placing when second and beaten a nose at this track over 350m in 19.97. Must come into calculations. CHAD'S A STAR (2) is racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (20.23) over 350m at this track. Ready to find winning form. PHANTOM BILL (1) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (20.18) from Box 2 at this track. Will give a great sight again. ON APPEAL (4) is likely to have admirers.

In the money last time at this track (20.18) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 3.5 lengths second. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and two places from nine starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (20.23) at this track over 350m. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 350m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (22.99) over 395m at Albion Park. Has a squeeze box to navigate but capable of a better result.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.36) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Box stats strong with four wins and two placings from nine starts. Will need the right run.

Showed good improvement when second behind Bugatti Talent at this track last start over 350m (19.97). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.
