Grafton Race 6 - The Lids Fly Hosted Pots
MODEST MAN (1) was in the money last time at The Gardens (29.92) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 1.5 lengths third. Has two wins already from this draw. Looks well placed and should feature. STAR (5) has a strong record this trip with five wins and two placings from nine starts. In the money last time at The Gardens (22.85) in a NG, finishing a 2.25 lengths second. Makes strong appeal on best. BENNY TRICK (8) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at Q Lakeside in a handy 30.73 beating Rocky Raccoon. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Should feature again. SUNBURNT KEEPER (2) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.

Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 4/5 on March 7 over 515m at The Gardens behind Weffalee Lee Lee beaten 1.5 lengths (29.92). More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Taree Super Track over 525m. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on March 7 over 515m at The Gardens behind Zipping Viper beaten 6 lengths (30.38). Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 450m at this track. Hard to recommend this time.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 3 lengths at Casino (23.29) beating Steely Dawn in a Grade 5 on March 5. Others have better credentials.
