Grafton Race 3 - Fair Dinkum Builds Cv Sheds Maiden Ht 3 H
NELLY KEEPING (1) is a Courtney Barnes-trained newcomer by Droopys Sydney out of Caitlyn Keeping. Drawn favourably and can capitalise. Profiles strongly and pay to watch the market closely. JIMMY AT GEELONG (2) is a handily bred pup making his debut without a trial. Likely to run well. WATCH THE DIVA (5) last raced on May 4 when sixth (21.22) over 350m at this track in a Maiden. Has never been out of the money in three starts this distance. Overall strike-rate good and can feature with the right run. MR. FIELD (7) is a newcomer from the Holly Taylor kennel. Start all important and will need some luck getting across from the wide draw. Can run a bold race on debut.

Two runs so far have been ordinary, the latest when beaten 15 lengths into eighth over 350m at this track. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.
