Grafton Race 7

Valley Protective Services Final F

Stake: $4,698

SANDAVE ABLAZE (6) recorded a 4 length win (25.08) in a Grade 4/5 last time at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. CALYPSO ROGUE (3) produced a decent 25.43 when winning over 450m at this track last start. In form and looks a leading player again. RAPID LULU (1) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 4 length second at this track but did record a slick 25.34 over the 450m trip. Can slot into the minors again.

Strong performance to post a big 4 lengths win at this track over 450m (25.08) beating Paw Gertrude in Grade 4/5 on June 15. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 25.03. Top chance.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (30.08) over 520m at Q Parklands. Boxed out wide and will need everything to go his way.
