Moderate tempo with Graceful Warrior leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. GRACEFUL WARRIOR (5) lightly raced filly who comes here in peak condition and should appreciate the extra ground. Covered ground early and stuck on gamely to secure third over 1190m at Grafton. Gets map favours today and sure to be thereabouts on the quick backup. DIACCETO (4) three-year-old The Autumn Sun gelding from April Thunder on debut for the Melissa Dennett stable. Last two trials had merit and from the low draw he is more than capable of making a winning debut. LITERATURE TYCOON (6) drifted back from the sticky gate and gave away a big start before she chipped away late to finish fifth over 1400m at Tamworth. Further improved now and can race a little closer here. Each-way. REAL HOUSEWIVES (8) earlier runs were okay and should appreciate the drop back to 1400m. Assess on her eye-catching third at Tamworth three starts back over this trip. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Graceful Warrior and Diacceto look the two leading chances.
