Grafton Race 5 - Ladbrokes Thunderbolt Semi Final 1 H
SPEEDY PIE (1) was in the placings last time but prior to that she produced an excellent 22.23 win over 400m at Bulli. Has the ability and expected to go close again. ISLA COAST (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at Goulburn over 350m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. SHE'S FEARLESS (5) is progressing well scoring last time out (19.53) at Goulburn and bringing up her 14th career win. Has an impeccable record at this journey winning all two. Won at her only start from this box. Bold showing expected again. COOKIE MAN (3) placed in impressive time last start - cannot be ignored.
