Grafton Race 9 - Sunny Lodge Max 150 Points Heat 2 H
SOUL OF FIRE (5) is an honest type in the frame at 10 of 26 starts including last time when third (25.62) over 450m at this track. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Well placed here and can go close with a clear run. WHERE'S THE BOSS (8) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (17.72) in a Grade 4/5 at Casino. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Form is hard to fault from this box, with a win and three minor placings from four starts. Likely to be thereabouts. TONY TARKS (1) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at Casino over 300m behind Jimary Freedom (17.70) in a Grade 5. One of the main contenders. ARCADIA BELLE (2) looks a chance coming off a 11 weeks layoff.

Drawn the inside alley. Most recently finished 7th in a Grade 5 on March 31 over 300m at Casino behind Jimary Freedom beaten 10 lengths (17.70). Major threat on best form.

Missed the frame when eighth (24.43) at Casino at last run and returns here after a 11 weeks break. Looks a danger to the top hope.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (25.62) at this track over 450m. Has a slick 19.98 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.
