Grafton Race 7

Fair Dinkum Builds Cv Sheds Final F

Prize Money: $3,685

FOR MERCY SAKE (1) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and four minors from nine tries. Comes off a (25.55) win last time, scoring by a nose in a Grade 5 over 450m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. HOOKED ON DOLLY (5) could manage only fourth at this track last time but turned heads when clocking a superb 25.25 over 457m at Q Lakeside the start prior. Must include on winning run two back. STRIPED MAC (4) posted an exceptional 25.24 winning over 450m at this track last start. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. SOUL OF FIRE (3) is worth consideration after filling a hole from the same draw last start.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd on March 1 over 450m at this track behind For Mercy Sake beaten a nose (25.56) in a Grade 5. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Q Lakeside over 457m. Last start finished 4th over 450m at this track beaten 2.25 lengths (25.71) behind For Mercy Sake in a Grade 5 on March 1. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 450m at this track beaten 6 lengths (25.69) behind Striped Mac in a Grade 5 on March 1. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Didn't make the placings last time at Q Straight (19.25) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
