Grafton Race 6 - Brushgrove Hotel & Patrons Brushgrove Cup (Bm82)
SHOW 'EM HOWL (6) smart gelding ready to bounce back in this easier assignment. Shuffled back early and never travelled at any stage of the race with a fading fifteenth over 1400m at Randwick in the Country Championship Final. Can sit off the fast tempo here and return to form. THE WOLF (1) excellent return from the lengthy break with a courageous on-pace fifth over 1005m at this track. Has an excellent second-up record and will prove hard to run down with Spokes' claim. SHE'S EXOTIC (2) consistent mare resuming with excellent first-up figures. Went out on a high with a fast finishing win over 1110m at Doomben. Primed for this with the two trials and gets her chance from the good gate. HOUSE OF CARDS (4) resumes with a host of gear changes. Back with the one good trial win and will relish the fast tempo. Each way. IMMORTALITY (10) deep into the prep and worth thought.

Second run back. First-up after seven months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 11 at this track Bm82 on April 7 over 1005m, 0.9 len behind Eagle Hawk Star carrying 60.5kg at $20. Previously second-up 6th of 13 at Gold Coast Bm65 on February 8 2025 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Smart Recognition carrying 60kg at $6. Generally goes well second-up and is a definite threat in this line-up.
