Grafton Race 9 - Westlawn Finance 1-2 Win Heat 1 H
QUEST FOR SPIRIT (5) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 4th (17.12) at Casino. Should be very hard to beat this time. SANDAVE STAPLES (1) has been on speed at the last couple here and fought on to hit the frame, last start finishing second beaten a nose (25.75). Ready to find winning form. ROBELL SETH (8) has been without a win for a while, the latest jumping from an outside draw when fourth (20.58) at this track in a Mix. Won at his only start from this draw. Worth another chance. MY FRANKENSTEIN (2) must be included in calculations.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (25.79) over 450m at this track. Has a low draw and is among the better hopes.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 350m at this track. Not keen, needs to lift.
