Grafton Race 5 - Mark Hughes Foundation
PAW ZELINI (3) shapes well for this after winning last start over the 350m at this track in a flying 19.89. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. CALLA NAUGHTY (1) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. Placed last time (20.06) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 4.5 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. ORARA DOUG (8) goes very well this trip starting 19 times for eight wins and eight minors. Comes off a (19.87) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Free For All over 350m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. LENNY LARGE (2) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at this track and clocking a fast 20.06 over the 350m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 350m (20.20) beating Tralee Enzo in Grade 5 on June 17. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 19.99, beating Orara Doug. Last start finished 4th on June 15 over 350m at this track behind Badger's Beast beaten 6 lengths (20.15) in a NG. Is a danger.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 350m at this track. That followed a win two back in 20.18 beating Exonerate over 350m at this track. Thereabouts last time others preferred this line-up.
