Grafton (G) Race 8 - Phil Mclennan Earthmoving Ht 2 H
FOR MERCY SAKE (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (25.47) at this track. Has a strong record here including two wins. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Deserves serious consideration. NANGAR NUGGET (2) is better than last start when fourth (28.12) in a Grade 5 at Casino over 484m. Has an impeccable record here. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. BURNSIDE BOOKIE (7) won again in an impressive display after stalking the pace making it three straight, scoring at this track over 350m (20.22). Has definite claims. GOLDSTAR KLEIN (8) is in form and must include among the chances.

Won two starts back over 450m at this track. Last start she finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on March 8 over 450m at this track behind Striped Mac beaten one length (25.47). Draw likely to suit. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Grade 5 on March 3 over 484m at Casino behind Integrity Marna beaten 7 lengths (28.12). Placed two back at Casino. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (24.03) over 411m at Casino. Aided by a low draw but looks safely held.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at The Gardens, recording a superb 22.81 over the 400m journey. In form and worth thought again.
