Grafton Race 6 - Ladbrokes Grafton Cup Heat 2 H

PAW SAPPHIRE (1) boasts a strong record this journey with six wins and five minors from 18 tries. In the money last time at Sandown (30.06) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length third. Looks suited and should go close. STRIPED MAC (2) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 1.75 lengths third over 520m at Q Parklands, clocking 30.39. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Hard to beat again. NEAME (3) goes very well at the distance with four wins and a placing from six starts. Below best last time at Q Parklands (30.51) in a OPEN, finishing a 17 length eighth. Looks suited here and can measure up. MCKEON (5) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 5 length third over 515m Sandown in 30.06. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (30.39) over 520m at Q Parklands. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Returns from a five-and-a-half months break and only other fresh up run was on debut, when a 29.28 winner over 515m at Sandown. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Looks close to another win after her success on June 7 at this track over 350m. Last start was second over 350m in 19.97, behind Wagtail Whisper. Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 366m at Capalaba in a handy (19.66), beating Oscar Magic. Will find this a bit tougher, prefer in something easier.
