Grafton Race 1 - Phil Mclennan Earthmoving Mdn
MAYFAIR SHINE (1) is a Terrence Kunde-trained newcomer by Shima Shine out of Mayfair Reign. Drawn favourably and can capitalise. Profiles strongly and pay to watch the market closely. RUBY SHELBY (7) quickly into stride and found the front, leading until late when second (20.29) at this track in a Maiden over 350m. Expected to be in this for a long way. PRECIOUS WONDER (3) makes her debut without a trial but profiles well for first outing. Expected to feature on debut. FANCY PAY CHEQUE (6) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 350m at this track beaten 2.5 lengths (20.29) behind Precious Glow in a Maiden on May 24. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing third (17.73) at Casino. Jumps from a wide draw. Will need plenty of luck.
