Grafton Race 5

Vamoose @ Stud 1-2 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

LIL POCKET'S (3) was below best last time when eighth at this track but prior to that among the placings in quick time (25.55) at this track. Likely to improve sharply this time. KING RUPEE (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (26.32) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. HE'S A BONUS (7) missed the frame last time when fourth (25.94) at this track but prior to that had three placings in a row. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Key runner on best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (25.94) in a Mix, finishing a 6 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Can feature in the finish.
