Grafton Race 12

Stake: $3,421

WHY A MACIE (1) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (20.02) in a Grade 5 at this track. Good beginner and aided by the inside draw. Look for sharp improvement here. DAM SMOOTH (3) missed the frame last time at this track but just three runs back flew around 450m at this track in 25.38. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. KIA MCGRAW (4) is a super consistent dog who rarely misses the frame, last start scoring at this track (20.02), making it two straight wins. Solid record at this trip including two wins. Rates a winning chance on best. TARGET TIME (2) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior she recorded a handy 20.02 over 350m when edged out, at this track. Expected to push the clock again here.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (20.40) over 350m at this track. Aided by a low draw but will need the breaks to go his way.

Won again in quick time after box seating to make it two on the trot at this track over 350m (20.02). Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Did a good job two starts back at Townsville to win by 4 lengths in 37.62, beating Federal Blonde. Last start finished 7th over 350m at this track beaten 9 lengths (20.67) behind Four Barrys in a Mix 2/3 on April 15. Prefer to watch at this stage.
