Grafton Race 1 - Fair Dinkum Builds Cv Sheds Mdn Ht 1 H
VERDUN (7) scored (31.10) last time out over 520m at Wentworth Park nine weeks ago. Drawn wide but with a clean break can feature in the finish. ORARA BOB (2) is a first starter from the Gary Smith yard by Fernando Bale out of One More Burn. Gets every chance from the inside draw. Lot to like about his profile and expected to run well. DANCING GAMBLER (1) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 350m behind Midnight Gambler (21.09) in a Maiden. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. One of the better hopes. MODEL GAMBLER (8) is a newcomer from the Patrick Lavis kennel. Start all important and will need some luck getting across from the wide draw. Can sneak into the frame at her first appearance.

Came from wide draw and finished 7th on August 31 over 350m at this track behind Midnight Gambler beaten 13 lengths (21.14) in a Maiden. Hard to entertain this time.

Returns from a nine weeks spell after being tipped out on the back of a sixth (31.10) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Has found the right race to launch this campaign.

Debutant by Bernardo from Edge Gambler. Trained by Patrick Lavis. Might pay to watch for a market push.
