Grafton Race 8 - Ladbrokes Grafton Cup Heat 4 H

HEROIC FEDERER (1) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and three placings from 12 starts. Comes off a (25.12) win last time, scoring by 2 lengths in a Grade 5 over 450m at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. GOLDSTAR TYSON (8) was in the minor money with a sharp 25.33, finishing second in a NG at this track last start. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. KING OF GODS (3) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (30.26) at Q Parklands. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Has never missed the frame from four starts from this draw, including a win. Overdue and is among the main hopes. BENNY TRICK (7) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 450m in 25.12 last start, beating Living Legend. Likes the rails so yet to win but has been in the money five times from six starts off this draw. Right in the mix.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on June 11 over 520m at Q Parklands behind Consigliere beaten 6 lengths (30.26) in a OPEN. Thereabouts at his last couple and is capable of better.
