Grafton Race 7 - Ladbrokes Thunderbolt Heat 3
BADGER'S BEAST (7) clocked a useful 19.62 finishing second in a OPEN at Capalaba last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. QUICK BISCUIT (1) could manage only second at Maitland last time but caught the eye when posting a dominant 29.59 over 515m at The Gardens the start prior. Top win two back and rates a key player again. PAW XENA (2) failed to come into contention last start at Ballarat, but prior to that won by 1.1 lengths at Warrnambool (25.30) beating Tornado Tahlia in a Grade 4/5 on May 22. Better than last start and can bounce back. FOUR BARRYS (4) had won four starts on end leading into last time when strongly fancied but could only manage second (20.07) at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings.
