Grafton Race 9 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Max 150 Pts Ht 5 H
PRECIOUS GLOW (5) had the drop on the lead before drawing clear to score (20.11) at this track in Maiden over 350m. The one to beat again. RAIN ABOUT (1) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing seventh (20.56) at this track latest. Won at her only start from this draw. Likely to play a prominent role. FLYING MINTER (2) was below best at her last start when 6th at Casino following a second place finish (17.81) at Taree Super Track two back. Boasts three wins from four starts out of this box. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. JOKER BONUS (7) is a last-start placegetter in good time - solid claims again.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 7th in a Grade 5 on May 3 over 350m at this track behind Mid City Boss beaten 6 lengths (20.56). The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, be tough to make an impression against this lot.
