Grafton Race 8 - Valley Protective Services 5Th Grade Heat 3 H
MOST DETERMINED (5) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some superb recent form, including a two-run winning streak, but could only manage second (19.83) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Likely to feature again. FIX IT FRED (7) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and three placings from 11 starts. Hit the frame latest (25.66) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. TYKETTO (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (20.23) in a Grade 5 at this track. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Likely to play a prominent role. FULL TILT TOM (8) warrants respect although new to this track.
