Grafton Race 4

Sunny Lodge 5Th Grade Max 150 Points Heat 3 H

Stake: $2,541

SPARKLING AWAY (7) will be strong late coming back to this trip and finds a race that lacks depth, handles a wide draw and only needs a safe start to threaten. NUGGET ROBERTS (4) has mixed form so far but won 2 from 7 and has plenty of upside, capable of threatening. LOCO PIRATA (2) gets a soft draw and SLIMY TROUT (5) can run honestly today

Will be strong late coming back to this trip and it is a race that lacks depth, wide draw is suitable and she looks a leading contender
