Grafton Race 1 - Valley Protective Services Mdn Ht 1 H
SPITFIRE REIGN (3) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 4 length third (20.34) over 350m at this track. One of the contenders. BRAVE CALL (4) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing third (20.40) at this track in a Maiden over 350m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Bold showing expected. RUSHFORTH VIOLET (8) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 350m (20.47). Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. One of the main contenders. SWAN BAY MISS (6) can run a bold race on best form.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length third (20.34) over 350m at this track. Capable of a strong show.

Made an eye-catching debut when flew the lids from out wide with a fast turn of foot before finishing third (20.40) at this track. Looks promising and can only be further improved.

Is a four start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (17.80) over 300m at Taree Super Track. Gave a big sight after racing on the speed much of the way. Has to be included.

Debutant by Fernando Bale from Black Magic Rose. From the Frederick Swain kennel. Might pay to watch for a market push.

Latest effort finished 4th over 350m at this track beaten 3 lengths (20.47) behind Dominant Xena in a Maiden on June 28. Some good form emerging from that last run. Among the chances.
