Ballina Race 4 - Grafton Cup 16th July Mdn Plate
In a lowly maiden ROUGE ANGEL (9) gets her chance. In the market on debut last start over 860m at Gatton and although she was swamped late to miss the placings she wasn't beaten far. Will take a lot from that experience and with less pressure up top today she looks a great chance to break through. MILITARY LEGEND (7) led in a different role last time out but faltered badly in the dying stages of a 1400m Gold Coast maiden. Very fit and worth another chance coming back in trip. TORQUE SO HOT (1) last raced when beaten under a length over 1310m at Lismore in December. Trialling in good style and only needs to handle the going to be a key contender. AKKU (3) failed last start when attempting 1400m for the first time. Previous form was good enough for her to be competitive here. BILLILICIOUS (4) struggled first-up over 860m at Gatton but can improve out to this trip.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign fourth of 9 at Lismore Ctry Mdn December 19 over 1310m, 0.9 len behind Artie Lady carrying 57kg at $2.20. On debut fifth of 9 at Coffs Harbour Super Mdn December 4 over 1212m, 4 len behind Baby Ryan with 56.5kg at $4. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Has more upside than most and can win this without surprising.

At only start last preparation 9th of 11 at Ipswich Mdn-Sw on December 10 over 800m, 6 len behind Mr Playtime carrying 56.5kg at $31. Strips fitter and is among the chances in this more suitable contest.

Last start did the work up front then tired 7th of 10 at Gold Coast 3yo Mdn-Sw on June 13 over 1400m, on a wet track; 5.5 len behind Piggietales carrying 56kg at $18. The start before that 8th of 12 at Doomben F&M Mdn-Sw on May 27 over 1350m, slow going 5 len behind Woot Woot with 57.5kg at $19. Not much depth to this so a better run is on the cards.
