Grafton Race 4

Westlawn Finance Masters

Prize Money: $2,335

HEAR THE CROW (4) goes very well this course and distance starting 21 times for eight wins and six minors. Placed last time (20.14) at this track in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Looks a key chance on best form. ANNIHILATING (6) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 0.8 lengths win at this track in a handy 20.25. Jumping from the pinch draw but goes well at this distance. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. LOCAL LEGEND (2) was prominent throughout when an impressive winner two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 6th and beaten 6 lengths at this track (25.87). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Should be in this for a long way. ORARA DOUG (3) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 300m at Casino. Needs to find a bit more.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4.5 lengths in 20.14, beating Lenny Large. Last start finished 6th over 450m at this track beaten 6 lengths (25.87) behind Pretentious in a Grade 5 on September 11. Major threat on best form.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 2.25 lengths at this track (20.04) beating Modern Memories in a Mix 2/3 on September 7. Well placed and among the chances here.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 0.8 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy 20.25, beating Divorce Source. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
