Grafton Race 4 - Basec Engineering Hcp (C1)
WINTER STORM (6) led all the way to score on debut over 1215m at Coffs Harbour five months ago and has not raced since. Has since been kept ticking over with a Coffs Harbour trial. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. LENNYSTAR (5) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 1260m at Ballina in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can make amends. CHARLOTTE'S HERE (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when third over 1150m at Gold Coast Poly. Has the ability to build on that encouraging effort last start. PINETO LAD (9) did a little better last start at the second run of the campaign, finishing fifth over 1310m at Ballina. Settles back early but winds up late. Will be doing his best work late.

Returns from a 32-day let-up. Last start second last of 9 at Ballina Bm58 on April 14 over 1315m, 5.5 len behind Aureate with 60.5kg at $61. The race before that eased back early on 6th of 9 at Grafton Cl1 on April 7 over 1005m, 3.5 len behind Alleze carrying 59.5kg at $41. Won't find this easy.

Dual acceptor. Last start second last of 7 at Taree Ctry Bm58 on May 5 over 1007m, on a wet track; 8 len behind Where's The Fire with 52kg at $14. The start before that got back early 5th of 10 at Port Macquarie Ctry Bm58 on April 26 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Where's The Fire with 52kg at $11. Capable of much better performance.
