Grafton Race 3 - Sunny Lodge 0-1 Win Heat 3 H
BENTLEY FISHER (1) is drawn well on the inside. Last start finished 4th on August 16 over 457m at Q Lakeside behind Wildash Jane beaten 9 lengths (25.98) in a Grade 6. Looks a key player on best form. NEV'S FRANKFURT (3) is better than last start when fifth (20.74) in a Grade 5 at this track over 350m. Must be included in calculations. JAY SANDS (8) turned in a plain effort last time when eighth at this track over 350m behind I'm What's Next (20.99) in a Grade 5. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. LADY REIGN (4) is likely to have admirers.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 350m at this track. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on August 18 over 400m at Maitland behind Flamenco Ethics beaten 6 lengths (23.25) in a Grade 5. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

Solid performance to win by 3.5 lengths at this track over 350m (20.33) beating Even Stevens in Maiden on August 10. Happy enough to avoid.

Ended last campaign with a sixth (26.21) in a GR 5 at this track and returns after a four-and-a-half months break. Will need everything to go right.
