Grafton Race 5 - Inspirations Paint Mdn Plate
SWEET MARLENE (15) made it six minor placings from thirteen starts when a closing third over 1000m at Tamworth last time out. Continues to race well, particularly at this distance. Not a great deal of form around the raced runners here so she gets her chance. RAINBOW LASS (12) has been knocking on the door, most recently flashing home for second over 1000m at Ballina. Needs luck from an awful gate but she is going better than most of these. KIRRA'S SISTER (8) battled on steadily to finish fourth when resuming from a spell over 1000m at Ballina last start. That was the first run for a new stable. Should be about the money. MONACO FLYER (14) on debut for local trainer John Shelton should attract interest on the back of a big trial win here on 13 April. Casino Prince debutante CASINO COLLECTION (13) bolted in at Port Macquarie in a recent trial. Looks pretty smart. Something for the Multiples: STAINLESS STEEL (2)

Last start 6th of 11 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1115m, slow going 6 len behind Olivershare carrying 59kg at $13. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 9 at Port Macquarie Mdn on March 29 over 1010m, on rain affected going; 0.9 len behind Cool Space carrying 58kg at $9.50. Certainly worth another chance.

At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Armidale Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 6 over 1300m, in the wet; 5 len behind Tosinsky with 59kg at $11. The run before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on March 16 over 1100m, slow going 1.3 len behind Fiction Society with 57.5kg at $61. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Second-up. First-up after seven months ran last of 9 at Ballina Mdn-Sw on April 8 over 1000m, on a wet track; 17 len behind Hare Street with 57kg at $91. Previously second-up second last in a small field at Kempsey 3yo Mdn on June 20 over 1250m, on a wet track; 5 len behind Pocket Eights with 55kg at $26. She has a bit of improving to do.

Last start ran last of 9 at Tuncurry Mdn-Sw on April 7 over 1000m, in the wet; 7 len behind Mawsons Expedition carrying 56.5kg at $151. No hope on that form.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since she finished last of 12 at Newcastle Mdn-Sw February 15 over 1880m, 27 len behind Autumn Aroha carrying 55.5kg at $71. On debut eighth of 10 at Scone Super Mdn January 30 over 1400m, 6 len behind Kaffir Lily with 55.5kg at $8. Not keen on what we have seen to date.
