Grafton Race 8 - Ladbrokes Thunderbolt Heat 4
DIVORCE SOURCE (1) is in hot form after clocking a speedy 19.97 victory two back then followed up with a 19.97 win at this track over 350m last time. Expected to push the clock again here. RUPEE MC GRAW (7) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and two minors from nine tries. In the money last time at Casino (23.36) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a one length second. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. REEL'EM GEORGE (2) is an honest type in the frame at nine of 22 starts including last time when third (20.37) over 350m at this track. Tends to go well on this box draw. Rates a winning chance on best. OUR BOY CHOPPER (6) recorded a 2.75 lengths win (20.02) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Has already won two times from this draw.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (23.36) at Casino over 411m. Key chance on best form.
