Grafton Race 3 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
WAGTAIL WHISPER (6) was a superb 19.84 winner at this track last start. Hard to top on the time from last start. POWER VALLEY (4) is worth forgiving for his last effort when seventh (20.86) at this track over 350m. Has ability and can measure up. HEROIC FEDERER (5) continues to build a strong record, last start jumping favourite and hit the ground running, leading throughout to score (19.86) at this track in NG over 350m. Solid record here at the distance winning nine races. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. One of the leading chances again. BARLEY CHARLIE (1) can add to a sequence of top-three finishes.

Missed the frame last time when fourth (20.06) at this track. Prior to that had been racing well. Aided by a low draw but prefer the place this line-up.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (20.22), beating Kia Mcgraw. Will find this a bit tougher, not up to this.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 350m. Last start finished 7th on August 21 over 350m at this track behind Nugget Roberts beaten 11 lengths (20.86) in a Grade 3/4. Scored two on the trot prior to last start. Can return to winning form.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 2.75 lengths winner (19.86) over 350m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting three wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won by half a length at this track (19.84) beating Sheezel in a Free For All on September 11. Unbeaten in four starts from this draw. Key runner.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when sixth (20.67) at this track. Tough draw to overcome and needs to find best form to feature.
