Grafton Race 2

Sunny Lodge 0-1 Win Heat 2 H

Prize Money: $2,310

PITCH BLACK BEAR (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing sixth (26.19) at this track last time. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of four starts. Form from his last run is proving strong. Can make amends. JUNGLE MISS (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (26.44) in a Grade 5 at this track. Can figure in the finish. AUSSIE BONUS (4) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (21.07) in a Grade 5 at this track over 350m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Should be in this for a long way. BUGATTI CRACKERS (1) will need to repeat last run to feature.
