Grafton Race 1 - Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting Maiden
BURNSIDE HUNTER (5) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only one length from the winner Tsunami Sea in third(19.70) at Q Straight. The form from his last run stacks up well. Likely to feature again. POWER VALLEY (8) profiles well for this but has a wide draw to content with at his first outing. Among the leading players. BUGATTI CANDY (4) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden and is long overdue for a win, having placed 12 of 22 career runs. Tends to run well here despite having never won. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Leading chance. CLOSE TALKER (7) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Lines up from box 1 for the first time after finishing a 6 length fourth at this track (20.82) in a Maiden. Others appear better placed.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth on March 1 over 350m at this track behind Burnside Levi, beaten 6 lengths (20.83) in a Maiden. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Is a 22 start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when third (17.26) over 300m at Casino. Rarely out of the placings off this draw. Has to be included.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (20.36) over 350m at this track. Drawn out wide but is in the mix.
