Grafton (G) Race 10

Phil Mclennan Earthmoving

Stake: $3,978

FIRETHORN (8) is a progressive type who recorded her 17th career win last time out (24.93) at this track. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of four starts. Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. Great chance again. MAGICAL SAIDE (2) was out of the placings when seventh last time but prior to that ran a dominant 25.21 win over 450m at this track. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. STRIPED MAC (4) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 25.41 beating Othello. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. MAGIC DEUCE (1) is worth some thought after placing in an impressive time last start.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 5.5 lengths third (25.70) over 450m at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Good starter. Latest effort finished last on April 14 over 450m at this track behind Striped Mac beaten 4.5 lengths (25.72) in a Grade 5. Has run blistering time here with a 25.21 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Fast starter. Last start finished eighth in a NG on April 5 over 450m at this track behind Badger's Beast, beaten 10 lengths (25.73). Looks tested in this company.

Impressive performance to score by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, recording a dazzling 24.93 for the 450m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
