Grafton Race 5 - Phil Mclennan Earthmoving
OTHELLO (2) could manage only third at this track last time but caught the eye when posting a fast 20.00 over 350m at this track the start prior. Can measure up on top win two back. WHAT'S THE PRICE (1) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at Capalaba over 366m behind Cashed Up Haven (20.19) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Key runner on best form. NEV'S FRANKFURT (3) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his solid win a few runs back, getting around this track over 350m in 19.99. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. KINGSBRAE REX (8) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 350m. Last start finished 3rd over 350m at this track beaten 8 lengths (20.47) behind Fire And Gravy in a Grade 5 on February 1. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Missed the frame latest (20.60) when fourth over 350m at this track in a Grade 5. Has two wins and two placings from six starts from the draw. Makes strong appeal.

Comes off a (20.15) win last time, scoring by a neck in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Yet to miss the frame from five starts from the draw, including two wins. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (25.56) at Maitland over 450m. Has claims if at his best.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (20.32) at big odds over 350m at this track. Boxed out wide and prefer each-way.

Could manage only fifth last time but turned heads the start prior when he clocked a slick 20.04 over 350m when went down narrowly, at this track. Worth including on run two back.
