Grafton Race 12 - The Lids Fly Hosted Pots
BUDDY BONUS (2) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 1.3 lengths second over 350m this track in 20.02. Top chance in this line up. NANNY'S BOY (3) ran good time (17.06) when second last start over 300m at Casino, the second placing in a row. Can turn it around this time. OPHIDIAN (7) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at 11 of 16 career runs, winning two back before finishing third last time (20.12) over 350m at this track. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. KINGSBRAE REX (4) did a good job to finish third last time out over 350m at this track (20.15) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.44) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minors. Others appear better placed.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track when a 1.3 lengths second but did run a decent 20.02 over the 350m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 3 lengths in 19.93, beating Mid City Boss. Last start finished 6th on February 20 over 390m at Q Lakeside behind Run With Frank beaten 6 lengths (22.25) in a Grade 5. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.
