Grafton Race 10 - Phil Mclennan Earthmoving
MAGICAL SAIDE (1) comes off an average run last start when seventh at this track over 450m behind Firebird (25.97) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money prior to that. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. OTHELLO (4) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 6 lengths away in third (25.72) at this track in a Grade 5 over 450m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Must be included in calculations. ZIPPING BJORN (2) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (28.16) at Casino in a Grade 5. Has first look at box 2 this time. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of three starts. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Leading player again. SUNBURNT KEEPER (5) did a good job to finish third last time out over 401m at Richmond (23.08) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Safe beginner who will go forward from trap seven.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 450m. Last start finished 3rd over 450m at this track beaten 6 lengths (25.72) behind Goldstar Klein in a Grade 5 on May 12. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (23.08) over 401m at Richmond. Squeeze draw to overcome. Top-three aspirations.

Missed the frame latest (25.67) when sixth over 457m at Q Lakeside in a Restricted WIN. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Was out of placings last time (26.00) at this track in a Mix, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Has two wins and three placings from seven starts from the draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.
