Grafton Race 10

Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting

Prize Money: $2,335

SANDAVE APACHE (6) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Grade 5 win two back (19.83) at this track. Look for sharp improvement here. BOBBY BONUS (2) missed the frame last time when fourth (20.37) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has ability and can measure up. NAVAL CHOICE (3) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fifth (20.10) in a Grade 5 at this track. With a good start should be able to take advantage of the low draw. Well placed here and can atone this time. STILTON AVA (8) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on February 10 over 350m at this track behind Fire And Gravy beaten 8 lengths (20.37). Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (20.10) over 350m at this track. Draws an inside box and is worth plenty of thought.

Was strongly supported last time but ran below expectations when sixth over 350m at this track in 20.96. Hard to stop if on-song.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.5 lengths in 20.20, beating Jilliby Mercedes. Last start finished 5th on February 8 over 350m at this track behind Let's Go Otto beaten 7 lengths (20.71) in a Mix. Other runners look much more appealing.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (20.41) over 350m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and needs to bounce back.
