Grafton Race 1 - Graftontickets.com.au Mdn Plate
SO FORTUNATE (8) is improving with racing and a win looks imminent. Sat on the speed and kept finding with a gritty third over 1506m at Port Macquarie. Terrific chance to break through in a very thin contest. REPEAT OFFENDER (7) third up for this and the blinkers go on after she finished a plugging fourth over 1506m at Port Macquarie. Just under a month between runs on that occasion and strips fitter now. BRAVO SIX (2) lugging bit goes on today and comes back in trip with Williams' claim. Never travelled in the run with a below-par fourth over 1820m at Griffith as the ($2.05 fav). Has further improvement to come and gets one more chance. FOLLOW THAT DREAM (6) best performance in seven starts when she sat on the speed to run a tidy second over 1720m at this track. Will benefit from Spokes' claim again from the good gate. Stays in the mix.

Most recently couldn't go on with it; 5th of 7 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on September 21 over 1720m, slow going 6 len behind Brass Band carrying 59kg at $21. The start before that eased back early on 6th of 8 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Coffs Harbour on September 3 over 1412m, slow going 8 len behind Sorrenti with 59kg at $71. Struggling to make a case.

Most recently 2nd of 7 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on September 21 over 1720m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Brass Band with 55.5kg at $13. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 in a Cl1-Sw at Queanbeyan on September 8 over 1600m, slow going 5.5 len behind Falstaffian carrying 55kg at $21. Not far away of late. Solid top-three chance who will hold a forward position.

Raced two times to date. At long odds at debut, 6th of 8 in a F&M Mdn-Sw at Hawkesbury on September 5 over 1400m, 7 len behind Lady Capitalist carrying 55.5kg at $41. Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 in a Super Mdn at Port Macquarie on September 27 over 1506m, 1.1 len behind Warm Front carrying 55kg at $14. On the up and should prove too good for these.
