Grafton Race 2

Sunny Lodge 0-1 Win

Prize Money: $3,235

AXEL'S RUN (2) ran second on debut then hit the ground running and led throughout to score his maiden win by 2 lengths (23.61) at Casino. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Looks to have an edge on most of these. NANGAR COUNTY (3) was in the minors two back (20.29) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 8th. Cannot be taken lightly. RUBY SHELBY (7) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 4.5 lengths (20.40) in a Grade 5 at this track. Overdue and expected to feature again. KAREN DUTTON (4) looks an each-way chance.

Comments

Facing tougher opposition than she has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Not going well enough to consider.

Finished fourth (26.02) last start at this track. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Has to overcome a wide draw and needs to find best form to feature.
