Grafton Race 5 - Starter Mr Rex Kelly Rip Country Boosted Mdn Hcp
MCCOSKER (1) looks hard to beat in a plain maiden. Has only raced twice, filling a minor placing on each occasion. Came from well back to be beaten just over a length last start over 1420m here. Needs this trip now and looks ready to win. TRAVELLER (10) is a lightly raced seven-year-old who produced a career-best performance last time out when he closed strongly to get up for third over 1410m at Lismore. Will enjoy getting out to this trip and is going better than most of these so he must be respected. EINSTEIN'S THEORY (2) raced beyond a mile for the first time last start and wasn't beaten far at Port Macquarie. Will benefit from that hit-out and looks one of the better chances. KENDYACATCHME (7) has had plenty of chances but does have a couple placings here from three attempts so cannot be dismissed entirely. MAHUIKA MAROI (8) strips fitter and can improve on a moderate first-up effort at Port Macquarie.

Had two starts to date. At debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Murwillumbah Mdn on October 14 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Hostile La Vista with 59kg at $17. Last start 3rd of 9 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on October 28 over 1420m, on a wet track; 1.1 len behind Highwire Girl carrying 59kg at $8.50. Capable of a better showing. Promising four-year-old who will be hard to hold out again.

Most recently 5th of 11 at Port Macquarie Mdn-Sw on October 26 over 1509m, 3 len behind Chelsea carrying 59kg at $151. The start before that second last of 8 at Taree Cl1-Sw on October 17 over 2000m, 20 len behind Queen Tavane with 56.5kg at $91. Best form measures up so might be worth including in wider exotics.

Last start 6th of 8 at Lismore Ctry Mdn on October 19 over 1210m, 5.5 len behind Whiskey Miss carrying 59kg at $21. Before that sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 9 at this track Mdn on September 22 over 1206m, slow going 7 len behind Need For Spieth with 57kg at $4.20. Tongue tie going on might be significant.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 3rd of 8 at Lismore Mdn-Sw on October 19 over 1410m, 1.75 len behind Gold Puma carrying 59kg at $21. The race before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Ballina Ctry Mdn on October 5 over 1300m, 6 len behind Deodee carrying 57kg at $17. Improving at each appearance - plenty to like about his prospects.
