Grafton Race 8 - Ladbrokes Thunderbolt Semi Final 4 H
ABSCONDING (2) has an excellent record over this journey having never missed the placings in six starts, including five wins. Scored by 1.75 lengths last time (18.88) in a NG over 340m at Bulli. Looks suited and should go close. FEDERAL SNIPER (7) shapes well after a good run last time, finishing second in a NG at Maitland in 22.21. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. LARNIE'S MAGIC (1) won again in quick time after running them ragged to make it two on end at Gosford over 388m (22.41). Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. In form and can go on with it. MCKEON (5) gave nothing else a chance most recently. That form reads well.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by half a length at Richmond (23.00) beating Tap Out Rusty in a Grade 4/5 on May 24. Other runners look much more appealing.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (20.06) over 350m at this track. Deserves a win and is expected to run well again.
