Even tempo with Under Twenty Two probably taking it up from a low draw in the absence of a genuine leader. MISS UCHITEL (3) was hard to miss when resuming over 1200m at the Sunshine Coast last start, coming from next to last on cornering to be beaten under a length. Will relish the extra furlong so although she brings poor second-up stats to the race she looks the one to beat. UNDER TWENTY TWO (4) raced handy but didn't quite finish his race off over this trip at Casino last time. Back in grade today and he tends to save his best for Grafton. Watch for a much better run. YELLOWHAMMER (2) has struggled of late but the tongue tie coming off might be significant. Worth including in trifectas and first fours. Veteran HAVIERON (1) is in fine form and must be considered despite a month between runs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Uchitel on top without a huge degree of confidence.
