Grafton Race 9

Vamoose @ Stud Heat 7 H

Stake: $2,541

IMPRESS AMBER (4) has been costly to follow in recent weeks but has clocked sizzling time over this T/D previously and suited back in grade now. WHISPERING SALLY (3) is a talented pup with good early speed, still has upside and looks a leading contender. DANIEL KEEPING (1) should be strong late and is ideally drawn. ROGER (7) must be respected
