Grafton Race 5 - Clarence Valley Wholesalers Country Boosted Mdn Plate
JOANJETT (11) finished runner-up at her last three outings and no excuses for this from the good draw. Came out quickly in the soft going with a narrow second over 1120m at Lismore. Key jockey change and should prove too strong for these. DANCE GAVIN DANCE (4) improving gelding with his hoof on the till at his third race start. Not that far away in a Super Maiden with a tidy fifth over 1183m at this track. Will go back from the gate and launch late. Top-three contender. GRACEFUL WARRIOR (6) good return for the new yard with a closing third over 1040m at this track. Complete mystery when she gave in quickly to run ninth over 1181m at this track. Cross-over nose band goes on and deserves another chance. JENNIBELLE (7) will appreciate the claim after making her debut with a plugging third over 1006m at this track. Will be ridden for luck from the gate and not to be overlooked.

Most recently second last of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 19 over 1006m, 7 len behind Rich Star carrying 59kg at $151. The start before that failed to make an impression; second last of 9 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on February 3 over 1040m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Cianwood City with 59kg at $31. Impossible to recommend.

The run before that 2nd in a small field at Murwillumbah Ctry Mdn on February 1 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Sources Link with 56kg at $1.40. Tough to beat at start six.

Third-up today. First-up ran last of 11 at Port Macquarie F&M Mdn-Sw on February 8 over 1106m, 13 len behind Sosueme carrying 57.5kg at $151. Second run from a spell came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Port Macquarie Ctry Mdn-Sw on February 22 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Markwell Music with 56.5kg at $41. Needs to do more. Hard to be confident on what we have seen since her return.
