Grafton Race 9

The Lids Fly On Ladbrokes Live Channels

Prize Money: $3,290

DAM SMOOTH (2) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten a nose over 450m this track in 25.53. Deserves serious consideration. TRUE LEGEND (7) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 25.52 beating DAM SMOOTH. Leading chance again. ORARA DOUG (4) tends to drift back and work into the race, charging home into the minors two back before winding up late into second (20.01) in a NG at this track last time. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Bold showing expected. MAJOR FLIRT (3) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 450m at this track. Others have better credentials.

Nearing another win after her success on June 28 at Q Lakeside over 457m. Last start was second over 450m in 25.53, behind True Legend. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.
