Grafton Race 2

Sunny Lodge 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

HOLLY'S BEAR (1) was in the money last start when second in a Mix in 25.38, clocking one of the quickest times on the card and a personal best this course and distance as well. Has the ability and looks hard to top. MY FRANKENSTEIN (2) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from six tries. Missed the frame latest (21.11) when seventh over 350m at this track in a Grade 5. Looks a key chance on best figures. FIERY PIASTRI (8) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at Casino over 484m behind He's A Bonus (28.85) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings five times from six attempts. Must be included in calculations. SPEED HOLES (7) placed last time in impressive time - worth considering.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 1.5 lengths second but did clock a fast 25.38 over the 450m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Mix on August 10 over 450m at this track behind Mr. Field beaten 5.5 lengths (25.67). Looks a solid hope.
