Grafton Race 6

Ladbrokes Blackbook Masters

Prize Money: $2,310

EVER SINCE (7) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 20.15 beating MILLIGAN. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Hard to go past. MILLIGAN (2) goes very well this trip starting 18 times for six wins and seven minors. In the money last time at this track (20.39) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 3.5 lengths second. Can feature in the finish. SANDAVE PEPPER (6) is a quick dog who thrives over the short dashes. Kept coming to fill the minor placings over 300m at Casino (17.27) in a Mix 2/3. Solid record here at the distance winning 16 races. Has good speed so she should be prominent despite the draw. Expecting another good run. SOLAR BRIGHT (1) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.

Improved sharply when second behind Ever Since at this track last start over 350m (20.39). Has to be respected.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 350m in 20.15 last start, beating Milligan. Looks to be back in fine fettle. Makes plenty of appeal.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, on best form is more than capable. Keep safe.
