Grafton Race 5

Ladbrokes Odds Surge

Stake: $2,541

GOAL KICKER (7) has a strong record this trip including four wins from four starts. Scored by a nose last time (20.05) in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Looks well placed and should feature. EPIFANIO (3) was well supported last start but didn't deliver when fifth (25.76), beaten 3 lengths. Finished third the start before. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. STYLISH BEAST (1) ran below best last time finishing seventh (21.29) over 350m at this track from Box 3. The form out of last race has been strong. Can measure up this time. MEAN GIRL (2) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - solid claims again.
