Grafton Race 2

Valley Protective Services 0-1w Ht 2 H

Prize Money: $2,335

TALK TOO MUCH (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 2 length second (17.02) in a Grade 5 at Casino. One of the contenders. KNIGHT EXPRESS (5) steps out at this track for the first time after an average run at the latest appearance, finishing fourth at Casino over 411m behind Axel's Run (24.03). Strong form has emerged from her last run. Can measure up this time. RUBY SHELBY (2) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 7 lengths into third (25.92) at this track in a Mix over 450m. Expecting another good run. MADDALENA (4) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.

Won two starts back on debut over 300m at Casino. Last start she finished 2nd over 300m at Casino beaten 2 lengths (17.02) behind Make A Rupee in a Grade 5 on August 27. Draw likely to suit. Looks a strong winning hope.

Was in the placings when third (20.01) at Q Lakeside at last run before a spell time and returns here after ten weeks. Capable of playing a role in the finish.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. Last start finished eighth over 300m at Casino, beaten 10 lengths. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
