Grafton Race 4

Ladbrokes Bet Ticker Heat 3 H

Stake: $2,495

EXCELLENT (4) was well off top last time, finishing 4th (18.84) in a NG at Wagga. Hard to go past form here at this journey, unbeaten in two starts. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Rates on top in this line up. I'M WHAT'S NEXT (7) rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (19.93) at this track over 350m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Will give a great sight again. MANHATTAN GIRL (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and three minors from 15 tries. Was out of the placings last time (20.45) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Looks one of the chances. GILBERT'S HELMET (6) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 450m at this track beaten 2 lengths (25.66) behind Rita Dutton in a Grade 5 on June 17. In the money last time but this is a stern test.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 350m. Last start finished 4th over 320m at Wagga beaten 11 lengths (18.84) behind Got A Depart in a NG on May 30. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (20.19) at big odds over 350m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and prefer the place this line-up.

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was an impressive winner scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 5 at Healesville and clocking a hot 19.24 for the 350m trip. Rates on top and can find winning form again.
