Grafton Race 4 - Mckimms Real Estate Grafton Cup Prelude Qlty
FULL OF SINCERITY (1) tough on pace stayer who maps to get the right run. Nailed late with the 60kg when a close second over 2020m in the Murwillumbah Cup Preview. Senior rider booked and doesn't have to improve much to win this. NATURE BOY (3) pulled up with a poor post recovery rate after working hard early from the outside gate when a fading eighth over 2500m at Ipswich. Gets a much better run today and saves his best for this track. SHERRIFF CODY (4) nearing his peak after catching the eye late when a solid fourth over 2020m at Murwillumbah. Has the figures to take this out. STYLEBENDER (5) racing in career best form and deserves his chance in this harder race. Has won over the 2100m and adept in all conditions. CASCADE MOUNTAIN (6) looks the pick of the rest on the quick back-up.

Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 8 at Murwillumbah Cup Preview on June 22 over 2020m, on heavy track; 0.6 len behind Feathertop carrying 60kg at $2.70. The run before that 5th of 9 at Sunshine Coast Bm78 on June 8 over 2200m, on a slow track; 3 len behind The Right Way carrying 58kg at $6.50. Ready to find winning form.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently didn't finish the race at Sandown-Lakeside Bm120 Hdle June 1 over 3400m. The start before that 4th of 7 at Casterton Hdle on May 18 over 3500m, on a slow track; 19 len behind Highland Blaze carrying 66.5kg at $26. Might just find this a bit too tough.

Last start eased back early on 4th of 8 at Murwillumbah Cup Preview on June 22 over 2020m, in the wet; 2.5 len behind Feathertop carrying 56kg at $12. The run before that 7th of 14 at Gold Coast Bm70 on June 7 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Twyford carrying 59kg at $26. Not far away last time. Has further improvement to come.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Newcastle Mid Bm64 June 28 over 1890m in the wet defeating Dr Evil carrying 55kg at $10. The run before that came from midfield and won by 0.6 len at Wyong Bm64 June 8 over 2000m on a rain affected track defeating Whetu with 55kg at $6. Going well and looks one of the chances.

At the latest run led to the turn then faded 6th of 13 at Tamworth Bm82 on June 27 over 1600m, slow going 4 len behind Rajnish carrying 55kg at $13. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Muswellbrook Bm74 on June 1 over 2300m, slow going 2.25 len behind Nature Boy with 58.5kg at $9. Minor claims.
