Grafton Race 4

Fair Dinkum Aussie Day 1-3 Win Heat 1 H

Stake: $3,421

LIL POCKETS (6) has been going ok of late without winning, draw isn't ideal but maintains a solid record here and just needs even luck to run well. FIRETHORN (4) is new here and on trial over this trip, has upside though and looks a leading contender. ALL OUT FIRE (3) has been costly to follow but has upside and ART OF DECEPTION (1) should run well
