Grafton Race 9

Mark Hughes Foundation

Stake: $2,840

BRODIES TIGER (3) was last seen getting around 350m at this track in a sharp 20.03 for a 1.75 lengths win. Has the ability and expected to go close again. ANNIHILATING (1) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 5.5 lengths 4th at this track (20.40). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and seven minor placings to his credit. Should be thereabouts. IMPRESS AMBER (2) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (20.28) in a NG at this track last time out. Well placed here and can atone this time. NOBLE GAMBLER (6) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Comments

Won two starts back over 350m at this track. Last start he finished 4th on July 16 over 350m at this track behind Brodies Tiger beaten 5.5 lengths (20.40) in a NG. Draw likely to suit. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Working her way into winning form after her success on June 10 at this track over 350m. Last start was second over 350m in 20.28, behind Annihilating. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on July 16 over 350m at this track behind Brodies Tiger beaten 1.75 lengths (20.16) in a NG. Happy to risk in this.

Good effort to win last start by 4.5 lengths over 300m at Casino in a handy (16.90), beating Luna Anne. Has ability and can run well.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 350m at this track. That followed a win two back in 20.07 beating Phantom Bill over 350m at this track. Not likely to feature on this occasion.
