Grafton Race 11

Valley Protective Services

Stake: $3,421

WOBBLY (2) is a promising dog in the frame at five of 14 starts including six wins and was a last start winner (20.00) over 350m at this track. Well placed here and can go close with a clear run. TANK ENGINE (1) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.3 lengths at Capalaba in a handy 19.93 beating Casino Special. Comes through a solid form race last start. Leading chance again. DESTINI LUCETTA (7) has a strong record this track and trip including two wins from four starts. Was out of the placings last time (25.83) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. VELARIS (4) racing over this distance brings the best out in him.

Comments

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Capalaba over 366m in 19.93 last start, beating Casino Special. Likes the rails so some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by 3.5 lengths at this track over 350m (20.00) beating Lakeshore Drive in Grade 5 on December 8. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (25.62) over 450m at this track. Has a low draw and is in the mix.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 450m in 25.54 last start, beating Roger. Won at his only start from this box. Can make it two from two.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 450m. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 4/5 on December 8 over 450m at this track behind Hear The Crow beaten 4.5 lengths (25.83). Had won two on end prior to the latest effort. Can atone.
