Grafton Race 5

Sunny Lodge 0-1 Win Heat 1 H

Stake: $3,545

NANGAR NUGGET (6) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 411m at Casino, taking a Maiden in a head turning 23.16. Rates on top and can find winning form again. KING NANGAR (4) is a newcomer for the Dennis Barnes kennel with no trial form to work with. Market to provide the best guide to his chances. SPEED HOLES (3) was well supported last start but didn't deliver when fifth (30.43), beaten 6 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Key runner on best form. FASCINATE MARK (2) can feature with the right run.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (20.58) over 350m at this track. Draws an inside box and is worth plenty of thought.

Well supported here last start but failed to deliver, finishing finished 5th over 520m at Q Parklands beaten 6 lengths (30.43) behind Days Of Wonder in a Grade 6 on October 21. Placed two back at Q Lakeside. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.
