Grafton Race 5

Valley Protective Services

Stake: $2,633

HOOTIN' ANGEL (1) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when second (20.13) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Look for sharp improvement here. NEV'S FRANKFURT (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 16 times for six wins and four minors. Below best last time at this track (20.68) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length fifth. Can feature with the right run. NALU (7) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at Casino over 411m behind Paw Until Payday (24.12) in a Grade 4/5. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Worth another chance. GOAL KICKER (4) was in the money last time at this track (20.24) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.5 lengths third. Has two wins already from this draw.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd on November 30 over 350m at this track behind Where's The Boss beaten 1.5 lengths (20.24) in a Grade 5. Has been around the mark of late. Keep safe.

Hit the frame again last time when second (17.36) at Casino, making it three minor placings in a row. Tricky draw to overcome. Looks tested in this line-up.

Didn't make the placings last time at Casino (24.12) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Suited here and expected to run well.
