Grafton Race 6 - Jacaranda Cup (Bm82)
SHE'S EXOTIC (4) won her fifth race from just eight starts when comfortably home in a similar event to this 15 days ago. Getting up in the weights but she had a fair bit in reserve last time so another win looks on the cards. MYSTERY LAD (1) shouldered 60.5kgs to victory two back over 1200m at Tamworth then disappointed in an open sprint at Coonamble last time. Nicely in after the claim so back in a Benchmark race he deserves another chance. LADY WARDELL (5) last appeared when third in a comparable race to this at Lismore eight weeks ago. Good fresh performer who rarely puts in a poor run. Must be considered. MY MUM'S TOYBOY (3) chased SHE'S EXOTIC home when resuming from a 191-day spell last start. Fitter and gets a weight swing so he can close the gap. SUPER IMPRESSIVE (8) has turned in a couple of real eye-catchers over five furlongs since returning from a spell. Will be hard to hold out over the extra 100m.

Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 10 at Coonamble Crystalspr on October 12 over 1200m, 6 len behind How's It Kev with 61kg at $7. Before that won by a neck at Tamworth Spring Cup September 30 over 1200m defeating Tainui carrying 60.5kg at $3.10. Certainly worth another chance.

Second run back. First-up after seven months 2nd of 8 at this track Jaccaprel on October 21 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind She's Exotic with 58.5kg at $8. Previously second-up 9th of 12 at Lismore Nrra Champ on February 22 over 1410m, 7 len behind Tribeca Star with 57.5kg at $26. Has a sound second-up record and is a definite top-three hope.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 55 day let-up. At the latest run sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Lismore Prel-Bm82 on September 11 over 1120m, 1.75 len behind Fragile Love with 57kg at $7. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Murwillumbah B F Charman B87 on August 28 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind The Wolf carrying 55kg at $4.20. Model of consistency and appeals as a solid each-way hope.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Scone Bm82 on October 24 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind Cool Storm carrying 56.5kg at $31. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Tamworth Ctry Cl3 on September 30 over 1000m, 3 len behind Not Written Off carrying 61.5kg at $41. Going well and she is certainly good enough to test this field.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track Bm66 September 30 over 1100m defeating Veloce Meteor with 59.5kg at $5. The start before that won by a head at this track Bm58 September 9 over 1200m defeating Got The Smarts with 60kg at $3.70. Hard to fault and can win again despite the gap between runs.
