Grafton Race 9 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Max 150 Pts Ht 5 H
PRECIOUS GLOW (5) Ran home strongly last run at this track in 20.11s over 350m. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. John Buttsworth kennel are on fire recently. Massive hope. KEN ROY (3) Strong performance to win last time at Casino. Always seems to find the line well. Capable of a big run. CATCH MY SHADOW (10) Below par when 6th last time at Casino but strong performer at this distance in the past. Going well this campaign. Worth an each way bet in this. FLYING MINTER (2) Disappointing outing when 6th last time at Casino. Has shown early pace in races to date. Not without claims.

Jumped at $23.00 and was ordinary when 7th last run at the track but drawn beautifully. Could be in the mix.
