Grafton Race 7 - Valley Protective Services 5Th Grade Heat 2 H
STEELY DAWN (8) was last seen getting around 411m at Casino in a decent 23.30 for a 1.5 lengths win. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. WHAT'S THE PRICE (5) was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length fifth (19.21) over 350m at Q Straight. Key player if finds best. WILGUNYA PRINCE (7) is a quick dog who thrives over the short dashes. Was sixth last time (22.15) over 390m at Q Lakeside in a Grade 3/4. Form here at the trip excellent including four wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Must be included in calculations. RIVERSIDE LEVI (4) is worth consideration.

Missed the frame last time when fourth (23.39) at The Gardens. Prior to that had been racing well. Has the inside draw but looks tested this line up.

Flew the lids with a slick early split and led until late but gathered in when a 3 length fifth at Q Straight over 350m in 19.21. Should prove hard to beat.

Closed last campaign finishing sixth at Q Lakeside over 390m 12 weeks ago. Good beginner but drawn out and prefer each way.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Casino, recording a fast 23.30 over the 411m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.
