Grafton Race 1

Ladbrokes Blackbook Maiden

Stake: $1,933

IN THE LOOP (2) is yet to win in 13 starts but been in the minors. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Worth another chance. MAXINE (3) turned in a solid run last start over 350m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (20.63). Form from her last run is proving to be solid. One of the better hopes. DE FACTO (4) had second look this course and distance latest and improved on her time, finishing a 3 length third in 20.71. Looks a leading chance again. IN THE RHYTHM (7) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Latest effort finished last in a Mix on April 27 over 450m at this track behind All Out Fire beaten 9 lengths (26.47). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Returns from a 11 weeks spell after being tipped out on the back of a fourth (20.63) over 350m at this track. Looks a definite winning chance.

Finished third last start (20.71) at big odds over 350m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Cannot be ruled out.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 350m at this track. Safely held last time and looking to others.

Yet to break through in 17 starts, the latest result a fifth (21.33) over 350m at this track. Should play a big role.
