Grafton Race 7 - Ladbrokes Grafton Cup Heat 3 H

RITZA LAW (7) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including three wins. Recorded a 7 length win (24.82) in a NG last time at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. LOCKDOWN (1) is building a very strong record, the latest jumping favourite and scoring an all the way win (22.14) at Maitland in Grade 5 over 400m. Form at the trip excellent including eight wins. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with three wins from five starts. Hard to fault his form and he makes plenty of appeal. SHORTY BOY (2) struggled to get involved last start at this track, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (19.77) beating Riverland Son in a NG on June 20. Can do much better this time. COUNTRY FORM (8) clocked the best time of the meeting last time. Hard to beat again.
