Grafton Race 4 - Think Water Northern Rivers Mdn Plate
LORD VETTORI (4) backs up just three days after he led for home but found a couple better over 1300m at Dubbo. That made it four minor placings from five appearances this time in work. Best figures measure up so he is the one to beat if they opt for the quick turnaround. HEZANUFF (3) drove hard late but just came up short when resuming over 1130m at this track last time out. Kept fresh since that outing a month ago. Just needs a bit of luck from an ordinary gate to be right in the finish. DARE TO LOVE (8) has improved in the last two runs when allowed to bowl along in front. Will find this easier than the latest effort at Doomben when she held on well for third. Ready to win. SPOILER (12) led and tried hard but was claimed near home when second-up at Inverell recently. Open to further improvement and should give backers a sight. Matthew Dunn's debutant VICE REGIS (7) wasn't beaten far in a recent Beaudesert trial and looks ready to run well with the blinkers applied.

Second-up. First-up after 10 months came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on May 9 over 1130m, on heavy track; 0.5 len behind Ultimate Say with 59kg at $10. Previously second-up 4th of 14 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on July 14 over 1410m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Uninsurabal carrying 59kg at $2.80. Back in good shape and another bold showing is likely.
