Grafton Race 2 - Phil Mclennan Earthmoving
FIX IT FRED (7) goes very well this course and distance starting 26 times for 11 wins and six minors. Scored by 2.25 lengths last time (19.85) in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. RUDOLF RUMBLE (1) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at Q Lakeside but was a Grade 5 winner two back at Taree Super Track. Key player on best and worth another try. CATCH MY SHADOW (4) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 5 lengths away in sixth (20.53). Finished second the start before. Worth another chance. BARLEY CHARLIE (6) can find the frame without surprising.

Missed the frame latest (26.30) when sixth over 457m at Q Lakeside in a Mix 5. Has two wins and five placings from 13 starts from the draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Did a good job two starts back at Q Lakeside to win by 2.75 lengths in 25.66, beating Christmas Day. Last start finished 6th in a Free For All on September 24 over 520m at Q Parklands behind Star Turn beaten 14 lengths (30.49). Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when sixth (20.53) at this track. Has ability and looks one of the hopes in this.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 411m at Casino in a handy (23.84), beating Steely Dawn. This appears within his reach.

Scored by 2.25 lengths last time (19.85) in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Key chance and should go close.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, will need to improve to feature.
