Grafton Race 2 - Happy 40Th Michael & Craig Hcp (C1)
HAYLEY'S ROCKET (1) appreciated the drop in grade last start when breaking her maiden at Taree, drawing clear late for a smart win. Lightly raced and open to further improvement, she can go right on with it. MISS WATERLINE (2) took a step in the right direction when finishing fourth at Casino last time, finding the line strongly. Well drawn and nicely placed to make her presence felt. DIZZY DEE (4) stuck on well into third at Taree last start and looks suited in this company. With even luck, she can be in the finish. MONTE TIANA (8) hasn't been far away in recent runs and looks capable of sneaking into the minors with her best effort. ASK THE QUESTION (5) next best in a weakening field.

Recent form sound. Last start favourite; won by 1.2 len at Taree Ctry Mdn-Sw August 15 over 1007m on a rain affected track defeating Varazze with 57kg at $1.75. The run before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 11 at Kempsey Ctry Mdn on July 28 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 1.2 len behind Miss Madigan carrying 57kg at $3.70. Rises significantly in weight but still holds plenty of appeal.

Comes here off a 44-day let-up. Last start second last of 12 at this track Ctry Cl1 on July 17 over 1400m, 6 len behind Dernier Lien with 55.5kg at $61. Before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Coffs Harbour Cl1 on June 29 over 1415m, on a slow track; 0.9 len behind Dark Stratum with 56kg at $12. Unlikely to threaten.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. Last start 10th of 14 at Coonabarabran Cl1-Sw on July 19 over 1600m, slow going 4.5 len behind Gloryess with 59kg at $31. Before that raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 12 at Dubbo Bm58 on July 10 over 1400m, slow going 9 len behind Rich Street with 56.5kg at $51. Won't spend a cent in the run from the inside draw. Better than recent form suggests and he can improve sharply.

Second run back. First-up after three months ran last of 11 at Casino Ctry Bm58 on August 18 over 1400m, in the wet; 15 len behind My Girl Zarlie carrying 55.5kg at $26. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on January 27 over 1000m, slow going 5.5 len behind Ocean Proud carrying 59kg at $41. That run was a bit plain so prefer him later on.

Second run back. First-up after nine months ran last of 8 at Port Macquarie Bm50 on August 23 over 1006m, on heavy track; 17 len behind Wine Time carrying 58.5kg at $41. Previously second-up 6th of 9 at Kempsey Bm58 on November 8 over 1250m, 4.5 len behind Whispering Cate with 55kg at $41. No easier this time and is likely to struggle.
