Grafton Race 6 - Ladbrokes Thunderbolt Heat 2
FIFTY SHORT (4) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at Horsham in a handy 23.25 beating Talkin' Bluey. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Hard to fault the current string of winning form and can continue his winning ways. COUSIN HENRY (5) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 5 lengths (19.56) at Q Lakeside. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. RUSHFORTH ALLY (1) boasts a strong record this journey with 17 wins and 14 minors from 42 tries. Below best last time at this track (20.55) in a NG, finishing a 8 length fifth. Among the main chances.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was a strong winner scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 5 at Capalaba and recording a strong 19.85 over the 366m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Has been racing extremely well, putting three wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when he won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at Horsham (23.25) beating Talkin' Bluey in a Grade 5 FIN on May 27. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 5 lengths at Q Lakeside (19.56) beating Emerald Dragon in a Grade 3/4 on June 1. Has a solid record from this draw, including three wins. Expected to go well.

Returns from a 11 weeks break after failing to finish at Casino last time but prior to that was fifth in a Grade 4/5 two back. No luck latest but this looks tough and prefer the place.
