CLUB TWEED GRAFTON CUP PREVIEW BM82 2020m Track: GOOD3 Clear (Max: 18) Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate pace with So Dapper rolling to the lead and setting the tempo. MINDSPACE (3) racing in career-best form and going nicely through his grades. Ploughed through the heavy (10) conditions when a dominant 5.5 len winner over 2005m at Coffs Harbour on May 31. Luke Rolls rides again and will prove hard to stop. TWO SMOKIN BARRELS (6) recent form hardly excites but can turn it around quickly today with the 3kg claim on the firmer track. Never comfortable on the Toowoomba track when a poor ninth over 2150m on June 1. Improver in a fairly weak race. FULL PRESS (2) fitter after four runs back and getting out to his right distance range here. Came from near last on the turn when a plugging sixth over 1614m at Taree two weeks ago. Undefeated this track and looks to be one of the main contenders. SHERRIFF CODY (4) holding his form well and will relish a firmer deck here. Tried hard in the heavy (10) conditions when second over 2005m at Coffs Harbour on May 31. Stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,6,2,4.
