Grafton Race 7

Ladbrokes Racing Club

Stake: $2,893

LARA DUTTON (1) has missed the frame at her last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in her head turning 23.12 win at Casino over 411m. Has the ability and expected to go close again. LUKEY VALLEY (4) comes here off a placing in strong time (19.99) over 350m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. LUNA ANNE (3) boasts a strong record this journey with 14 wins and seven minors from 32 tries. Below best last time at Casino (16.92) in a NG, finishing a 7 length fifth. Looks suited here and can measure up. ROCKY PEPPER (2) is a last start winner and can go on with it.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but she goes well over this track and distance with six wins from seven starts. Unbeaten in two starts from this box. Key runner.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 20.15 in a one length win at this track over 350m. Strongly fancied last time and lived right up to expectations. Stick with him.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (19.99) at this track over 350m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.25 lengths in 20.06, beating Jamie Tartt. Last start finished 5th in a NG on December 15 over 350m at this track behind Pay Your Dues beaten 8 lengths (20.29). Racing well and has to be included.
