Grafton Race 9 - Ladbrokes Big Bets Copy Now
PRETENTIOUS (3) has a strong record this journey here with four wins and a minor from eight starts. Comes off a (19.67) win last time, scoring by 9 lengths in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Rates a leading player. LOGICAL LEGEND (1) is better than last start when seventh (20.82) in a Grade 5 at this track over 350m. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Likely to be about the money. CASH RIOT (5) is generally an honest type in the frame at three of 18 starts but missed the placings last time when fourth (20.31) over 350m at this track. Solid record at this trip including six wins. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. CASH SIGN (2) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior went down fighting when second (20.24) over 350m at this track. Draws an inside box and capable of a better result.

Impressive performance to post a big 9 lengths win at this track over 350m (19.67) beating Barcia Cruiser in Grade 5 on August 7. Returned in great order and can make it two on the bounce.

Hasn't produced too much recently, and faces tougher opposition here. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 350m. Last start finished 4th over 350m at this track beaten 5 lengths (20.31) behind Bull Mundy in a Grade 5 on July 15. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (19.11) over 330m at Temora. Drawn out wide and prefer each-way.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (25.85) over 450m at this track. Capable of a better result.
