Grafton tips and results

Junostar is a consistent maiden who placed on debut at Grafton (2nd) and returns second-up from a brief spell. Barrier 4 is a major asset at a track that favours inside draws and forward position.

Zayyano is the most likely front-runner and will be hard to catch if allowed an easy lead. His last start 4th at Gatton (1600m) was solid and he strips fitter with the 3kg claim. The key query is his winless record and lack of success on Good ground. However, in a weak maiden he can dictate terms at moderate tempo and hold on for a placing. He is a each-way player.

She is second-up after a creditable first-up 6th, and with 53kg and a soft draw should get every chance. The query is her ability to sustain the speed over 1200m and her jockey's recent form.

Minor Key has been racing consistently with a last-start second in a BM58.

Our price $12.00 · SP $19.00 · Amelia Heinrich

He gets a significant class drop, a light weight, and barrier 4 for a forward run.

Got The Smarts maps perfectly from barrier 1 in a race where early position is critical at Grafton.

Meadowbrook is a consistent mare who placed second at Grafton last start and holds a 45% overall place rate. She maps well from barrier 5 and has fitness on her side. The major concern is a complete lack of success on good ground, which tempers confidence. She is a reliable place chance but unlikely to win her first on good today.

Jennibelle is the model of consistency at Grafton, never far away in all five starts. She maps for a similar on-speed run from barrier 8 and should be in the finish. The knock is she hasn't been able to break through, but in a moderate maiden she's a solid place chance.

Don't Doubt Sophie has been competitive in both outings, finishing third twice over 860m. Stepping up to 1125m should suit given her pedigree and running style. Barrier 4 allows her to use early speed and secure a forward position, which is crucial at Grafton. The unknown distance is the concern, but she looks the type to handle the step up.

Rentessis drops sharply in class after contesting Class 3 races. He drew barrier 1 and has genuine early speed, which is a winning formula at Grafton on Good ground. His last Grafton run (4th in Class 3) was solid on Soft, and back on Good he should be even more effective.

Our price $10.00 · SP $14.00 · Benjamin Osmond

She drops to Class 1 here, which is a significant class relief. She's a genuine value runner capable of springing a surprise if the race unfolds favourably.

The jockey's poor Grafton stats are a concern.

Picupstixx comes off a confidence-boosting win at the track and looks suited stepping up slightly in trip. He has a good record at Grafton and should race handy. The question is whether he can back up that win in stronger BM58 company.

Rupestris drops back to Class 1 after struggling in Bench 66. His maiden win came over 1400m here, and the step up to 1630m looks suitable.

Reel Torque is hard to fancy on recent form but gets a class drop and an ideal inside draw. He is likely to lead this field and at Grafton on Good, leaders hold a significant advantage. Worth a small each-way play.
