Grafton Race 7 - Jack Sommerville Northern Rivers Cup Ht 1 H
BADGER'S BEAST (2) boasts a strong record this journey with 18 wins and three minors from 23 tries. Scored by 8 lengths last time (21.92) in a NG over 400m at Maitland. Looks well placed and should feature. MCKEON (3) goes very well this trip starting 25 times for 17 wins and four minors. Below best last time at Casino (28.17) in a NG, finishing a 7 length sixth. Can hit the frame with the right run. STAR TURN (1) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (21.62) at Q Lakeside in a Grade 4 over 390m. Can make it two on the bounce. PERKY PENNY (7) must be respected at her pet distance.

Was a little disappointing last start, fading in the run home at Casino over 484m. The start prior was at her best with a 3 length win over 484m at Casino. Capable of taking this out.
