Grafton Race 1 - Kusciuszko Tickets On Sale 2Yo Springboard Prelude Mdn Plate
AQUAFIRE (1) two career runs have been full of merit and expected to go one better today after sitting on the speed for a narrow second over 1030m at this track on June 8. Maps to get the right run and will take holding out. TAKEOVER LAD (5) top debut performance when boxing on strongly to finish third over 1000m at Tamworth on June 21. Strips much fitter now and Baker rides again with the 3kg claim. Leading prospect. HELLUVA TEEN (7) looked good on debut two starts back when a narrow second at the Gold Coast. Up in grade and never comfortable in the heavy conditions when ninth over 900m at Newcastle on June 22. Will find this easier and can return to form. BETTY CEE (6) returns for second prep without a trial after tiring late when fifth over 900m at Newcastle on February 10. In top stable and should have strengthened over the break.

First starter by Encryption out of Purple Royale. Was third in a trial at Grafton over 946m May 16. Barrier an advantage. Likely to struggle in this company.

Two-year-old gelding (Yes Yes Yes - In Lighten) will no doubt benefit from the three trials prior to his debut today. Was third in a Ballina barrier trial over 1010m on June 30. Hard to have in this line up.

At debut, raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 12 at Tamworth Mdn-Sw on June 21 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Super Sioux with 53.5kg at $14. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to be opening his account.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at Gold Coast Poly 2yo Mdn on June 8 over 1050m, 0.5 len behind Genius Baby with 57kg at $14. Last start second last of 10 at Newcastle 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 22 over 900m, on heavy track; 10 len behind Cindersea carrying 55kg at $41. Key chance likely to give a big sight.

Two-year-old filly (Shalaa - Sagamiyna). Had two recent trials prior to her debut today. Ran 3rd in a Taree trial over 1007m on June 25. Take on trust that she is forward enough to take this race.

Was at long odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Taree 2yo Hcp on June 9 over 1262m, on rain affected going; 27 len behind Eclair Encore carrying 58kg at $26. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
