Grafton Race 6 - The Clarence
TEMPTING DASH (2) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (30.49) at Q Lakeside in a OPEN. Lines up from box 2 for the first time. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Likely to feature again. PROPER STAR (1) had been in great form but missed the frame latest when fourth (34.97) in a Grade 5 at Q Parklands. Generally fast to begin but always back from the wide draw last time. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Can figure in the finish. GOLDSTAR PRADA (3) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at Q Lakeside over 550m behind Warm Cockles (30.90) in a OPEN. Was a winner the start prior. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. FIREBIRD (4) was out of placings last time (36.52) at Casino in a NG, finishing sixth and beaten 13 lengths. Has already won two times from this draw.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 620m at Casino. That followed a win two back in 35.85 beating Bad And Bertha over 620m at Casino. Looks up against it this time.
