Grafton Race 8

Vamoose @ Stud 1-3 Win Heat 2 H

Stake: $2,541

FORTUNE HUNTER (6) has an impeccable record this journey, winning all three starts. Scored by 2.5 lengths last time (22.29) in a Grade 5 over 400m at Maitland. Rates a leading player. BILLY BUTCHER (7) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 5 at this track. Can improve sharply here. LOCO PIRATA (2) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

At the last outing finished 4th over 350m at this track beaten 6 lengths (20.48) behind Wobbly in a Grade 5 on December 8. Should be around the mark.

Has a maiden win to his credit but has been finding it hard to feature subsequently. Last raced when eighth over 450m at this track a week ago. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Dual acceptor. Won two starts back at this track over 350m in 20.31. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 450m at this track at Mix level. Not keen this time.

Surprised two starts back at Taree Super Track to win by a nose in 31.15, beating Sparky Key. Last start finished 5th on December 8 over 450m at this track behind Velaris beaten 5.5 lengths (25.90) in a Grade 5. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Maitland, clocking an excellent 22.29 for the 400m trip. Has the ability and expected to go close again.
