Grafton Race 9 - Fair Dinkum Builds Cv Sheds 1-3 Win
SHOT OF WHISKY (3) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (25.48) in a Mix at this track. Won at her only start from this box. One of the contenders. RITZA TOBY (2) placed two back in a Grade 5 at Capalaba then backed that up with a third (25.57) over 457m at Q Lakeside last time. Key player on best and worth another try. UNACCEPTABLE NED (1) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at Capalaba over 366m behind Eastly Bloom (22.17) in a P5. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Must be included in calculations. BALMAIN BOY (8) cannot be underestimated.

Has placed the last couple. Ran 25.57 when third at Q Lakeside latest but the run prior he clocked a slick 19.80 over 366m finishing third at Capalaba. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only second (25.48) at this track over 450m. Leading contender.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 350m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 2.25 lengths behind Spitfire Reign over 350m. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
