Grafton Race 9 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
WHERE'S THE BOSS (1) finished in the minors last start over the 300m at Casino but ran a solid 16.82 last start. Should be in this for a long way. BUGATTI STEP (2) was a winner two back when prominent throughout then got further back last time and could manage only a 13 length 8th at this track (20.79). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. TWO FISTED (4) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (20.28) at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. In the mix. POPPY VALENTINA (8) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (20.06) over 350m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Others preferred.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (20.20) over 350m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate but is worth plenty of thought.
