Grafton Race 6 - Something Special Weddings (Bm58)
BELLASCENT (12) comes here off a fifty-three-day let-up. Wasn't far away immediately prior to the break in longer races than this. Nicely drawn and emerges as a leading hope on the back of some key scratchings. Should handle the ground and this looks a winnable assignment. OLIVERSHARE (6) won first-up over 1115m here in soft ground when facing the starter for only the second time. Plenty of scope for improvement. Should enjoy the run of the race from the inside marble and he deserves pre-post favouritism. YALLA (7) led and just failed to hold on when resuming over 1200m at Port Macquarie last start. Handles the going and the extra trip suits. Sure to be in the firing line for a long way. SHE'S ENUFF (8) was game in defeat after leading over 1509m at Port Macquarie recently. Racing well and makes each-way appeal. DAZZLING ROBERT (10) is a chance on a six-day-back up and stepping up in distance.

At the latest run ran last of 13 at Port Macquarie Bm58 on April 27 over 1500m, on heavy track; 82 len behind Rathoran carrying 60kg at $14. The race before that 4th of 12 at this track Bm58 on March 16 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Havieron with 60kg at $3.10. Not a great draw again but capable of a bold run.

Third race start. First start 6th of 10 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on November 25 over 1006m, 1.5 len behind Neil with 57.5kg at $2.40. Returned from break favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a long-neck at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw April 13 over 1115m on a soft track defeating Come On Glamour with 58.5kg at $2.40.

Second run back. First-up after seven months tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 14 at Port Macquarie Bm66 on April 11 over 1200m, head behind King Larry carrying 52.5kg at $13. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at Doomben F&M Cl3-Sw on June 5 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Lennic with 57kg at $17. Back in good shape and should run well again.
