Grafton 2-4 Fern Street did a good job first up over this trip after a hard run last time. His first two runs before his spell were even efforts over the 800m scamper and it's best to forget about them. From his good draw he wouldn't need to have improved much to feature strongly in a race devoid of talent.
Horsham 2-9 She's Ready comes out of a very strong Bendigo Maiden, which was won by Lady Migaloo who beat Megadeal and Camaro. Those latter two came out and ran one-two at Sandown during the week. She's Ready drew the outside gate and was taken back to the rear over the 1000m trip where she found herself just behind today's rival, Bella Romance. Unlike that runner, she never got a proper crack at them in the straight and certainly appeared to be going better than Bella Romance over the last furlong. The first starters don't look much chop and, given a clear run at them, I expect her to win.
Narromine 3-1 Kinabalu Magic from the strong Sharon Jeffries stable is the pick in one of those races where the exposed form is a bit how's your father. This one trialled at Warwick Farm last year and hasn't been seen since. Is owned by the trainer and when they're paying the bills themselves they don't tend to keep the slow ones.
Narromine 5-2 Runaway Blaze has had two starts for the Michael Wales stable since arriving from Victoria for a 3rd and a last start win at Tamworth. Normally, backing last start Maiden winners in Class 1 events is a poor plan but this one was strong on the line last time and drops 3kg for in form apprentice, Tim Clark.
Narromine 7-1 Kelly Road rounds out a Jeffries' double of selections. Ran strongly at Albury last time to be beaten less than a length after winning at Dubbo. The danger could be Nellie's Glen with Greg Ryan on board. Don't worry about the barrier, in spite of its funny shape, Narromine is a track where you can win from anywhere.
Penola 7-10 Kingston Sea is a speedy customer who should be suited around this oddly-shaped track with its dog leg run home. They key to the race is that he'll be able to position right on the speed whereas some of the main competitors will be back in the run and be giving him a start at the 400m. First up at Morphettville he was in the race until his condition gave out. Has won in town in similar company and is nicely weighted here.
Pinjarra 8-1 Our Grey Halo was a close 2nd at his first go at the mile last time after backing up quickly from a 1200m run. He's been finding the line well in all of his recent runs so with that effort under his belt should be spot on for today.
