Grafton Race 8 - Valley Protective Services Heat 3 H

KICK UP SON (4) turned in an eye-catching debut run to place then got off the mark last time with his maiden success, scoring by 1.5 lengths (20.13) at this track over 350m. Shows good promise and worth following up. MOMENT OF TRUTH (8) has a strong record here including three wins from five starts. Hit the frame latest (17.15) when third at Casino in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. MENACING MIRAGE (1) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (20.38) in a Grade 5 at this track last time out. Can feature with the right run. CONFETTI DAN (2) is in the mix after placing here at this trip last time out.
