Grafton Race 11

Vamoose @ Stud

Stake: $3,553

EPIC STORY (4) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 1.75 lengths (29.63) at Wentworth Park. Rates to win again. FIREBIRD (1) had been going along well winning a Grade 5 three back then placing at Casino before missing the frame latest when fourth (39.24) at this track. Can feature with the right run. UNLEASH BRADY (8) was safely held in tougher company last start after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at Bulli (26.32) beating Latest Twist in a Grade 5 on June 3. Must be included in calculations. FOXTROT ETHICS (5) placed last time (25.13) at Goulburn in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths. Has already won out of this draw.

Comes off a (29.63) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 520m at Wentworth Park. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from seven starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
