Grafton Race 8

Ladbrokes Communities

Stake: $2,603

HEAR THE CROW (2) is progressing well scoring last time out (19.99) at this track and bringing up his 3rd career win. The form out of his last race has been franked. Expected to measure up again. GRAND PERFECTION (1) boasts a strong record this course with two wins and two minors from five tries. Comes off a (20.05) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. BLUE SKYE MAGIC (6) scored by 4.5 lengths last time (20.24) in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. DIVORCE SOURCE (7) cannot be ruled out.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 350m in 20.05. Was strong in the market and scored a soft win most recently. Stay with her.

Eye-catching performance to score by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a slick 19.99 over the 350m journey. Has the ability and expected to go close again.
