Grafton Race 12

Valley Protective Services Masters

Prize Money: $2,310

WILSON'S PICK (4) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten a nose, (18.41) at Wagga. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. ROCKY PEPPER (2) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.75 lengths (20.48) behind Slimy Trout at this track. The form from his last run stacks up well. Can feature again. QUEEN WOK (1) has a strong record this track and trip with eight wins and eight placings from 23 starts. In the money last time at this track (20.22) in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing a 4 length third. Makes strong appeal on best. VELOCIOUS (5) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Comments

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (20.22) over 350m at this track. Around the mark recently. Among the leading chances.

Latest effort finished 3rd over 350m at this track beaten 1.75 lengths (20.48) behind Slimy Trout in a Grade 5 on May 20. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Went down narrowly in a NG at Wagga latest when a nose second but did record a decent 18.41 over the 320m journey. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (20.36) over 350m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but in the mix on her best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.56) in a Grade 4, finishing a 7 length sixth. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and two places from 10 starts. Others rate better this time.
