Grafton Race 2 - Phil Mclennan Earthmoving 0-1 Win
MR. EINSTEIN (4) jumps from box 4 for the first time after placing latest at this track (25.75) in a Grade 5. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. Makes plenty of appeal. FASCINATE MARK (1) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (20.33) at Capalaba in a Grade 6. Safe beginner and drawn well on the inside. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. HANNIBAL (7) was checked in the run and safely held when fifth (30.18) in a Grade 5 over 515m at The Gardens. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. Better than latest and worth another try. BUGATTI ROGUE (8) must be included in calculations.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 6 on February 25 over 366m at Capalaba behind Professor Saxon beaten 2 lengths (20.33). Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 350m at this track. Prepared to risk.

Has finished fifth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Capalaba over 366m. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
