Grafton Race 1 - Free Entry Today Springboard Prelude Mdn Plate
ANDREA (1) comes here with a massive fitness edge over most of these. Up in trip when chipped away late to finish fourth over 1205m at Coffs Harbour. Prefer over this trip and gets his chance with the claim. ZHONGXIN KOALA (6) looks one of the leading prospects third up. Jumped in grade when a fading sixth over 1350m at Doomben. Tempo suits and will be attacking the line strongly. LADY TUATARA (10) is a filly by The Autumn Sun out of Lahana on debut for the Jordan Lee yard. Her last two trials were okay, and the blinkers go on. Respect. SECRET ROSE (11) resumes after the two good minor placings at the Sunshine Coast. Worth thought.

Dual acceptor. Having third race start. At long odds at debut, 3rd of 7 at Ipswich 2yo Hcp on June 6 over 1200m, slow going 1.0 len behind Thee Creek carrying 55.5kg at $31. Last start faded in the straight second last of 7 at Doomben 2yo Hcp on June 18 over 1350m, 6 len behind Lockyer with 56kg at $12. Has ability and a form reversal is on the cards.
