Grafton Race 3 - Alan Bowling Painter / In Memory Of David Stringer Super Mdn Plate
SASQUA (6) improving with racing but struggling to draw a decent gate. Nice debut placing first-up, then worked hard early from the wide gate with a fading eighth over 1250m at Newcastle. Sits handy in the run with the key jockey change. Strong chance in this line-up. LOFTY MACSPORRAN (4) wasn't disgraced in town at start two with a fast finishing fourth over 1200m at Doomben. Blinkers go on and has the right figures to take this out. THE MESSIAH (10) finds a winnable race from the good gate. Outclassed in town when seventh over 1400m at Eagle Farm. Claim helps and stays in the mix. FOXY ARTIST (3) closed off okay first up and is open to good improvement stepping up to 1400m.

Second-up. First-up after six months made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on March 30 over 1115m, 6 len behind Ivantheinvincible with 58.5kg at $3.40. Previously second-up 4th of 10 at Goulburn Ctry Mdn on September 25 over 1300m, 2 len behind Wear The Crown carrying 56.5kg at $6. Fair effort on that occasion but this looks beyond his reach.

Last start crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 4th of 12 at this track Ctry Mdn on March 30 over 1420m, 2.5 len behind Graceful Warrior with 55.5kg at $20. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 12 at this track Super Mdn-Sw on March 15 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Launcher with 56.5kg at $31. A win doesn't look likely.
