Grafton Race 11 - Valley Protective Services
RAPID LULU (4) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won three of four starts. In the money last time at Taree Super Track (30.77) in a NG, finishing a 2.5 lengths third. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. PAW UNTIL PAYDAY (1) could manage only third at this track last time but turned heads when posting a powerful 23.25 over 411m at Casino three starts ago. Top win three back and rates a key player again. WHISPERING JACK (7) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (20.16), beaten 2.75 lengths.

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Yet to be beaten when drawn the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Unbeaten in three starts from this draw. Winning chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at this track. Others make more appeal.

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished 4th in a Grade 4/5 on January 21 over 350m at this track behind Bugatti Talent beaten 2.75 lengths (20.16). Placed two back at this track. Has ability and worth including.
