Grafton Race 3 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm 1-3w Ht 2 H
PRECIOUS COOKIE (8) was last seen getting around 350m at this track in a swift 20.00 for a 3.5 lengths victory. Expected to push the clock again here. MEXICAN JACK (7) isn't a quick beginner but comes home hard, winding up to place two back then finishing on strongly last time when second (20.22) in a Grade 5 at this track. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from three starts. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. MIDNIGHT MIRAGE (2) was below best at her last start when 6th at this track following a third place finish (20.43) there two back. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. In the mix. ROBELL SETH (1) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Won at this track over 350m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 350m at this track. Major threat on best form.

Fast starter. Last start finished 2nd over 350m at this track beaten 2 lengths (20.22) behind Trizla in a Grade 5 on June 20. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 20.47, beating Charged. Last start finished last on June 14 over 350m at this track behind Trizla beaten 9 lengths (20.76) in a Grade 5. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 350m at this track. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.
