Grafton Race 2

Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting Masters

Prize Money: $2,335

KEIKI POLU (2) turned spotting a big start finishing eighth (20.75) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. STYLISH BEAST (5) has had a break of 12 weeks since finishing third (20.44) over 350m at this track. This looks easier and expected to run well. CHAMPAGNE TALKS (1) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Casino over 411m behind Country Form (24.73) in a Grade 4/5. One of the main contenders. SLIMY TROUT (4) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished sixth in a Grade 4/5 on June 11 over 411m at Casino behind Country Form, beaten 12 lengths (24.73). Capable of taking this out.

Finished fifth (20.62) last start at this track. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Boxed awkwardly and looks a each way chance only this field.

Finished off last campaign when third (20.44) over 350m at this track before a break of 12 weeks. Good beginner and will go close if he can clear the tricky draw.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a eighth over 350m at this track. Hard to have this time.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 9 length seventh over 300m at Casino. This looks too tough.
