Grafton Race 3 - Preferred Energy (Bm82)
POSEIDON'S SON (3) starting to hit his straps this campaign with the three impressive on-pace wins in weaker company. Will relish Smyth's 3kg claim from the good gate and undefeated in two starts at this course. Looks too strong again. COUNT NICHOLAS (6) in good order after winning two back at the Gold Coast Poly. Meets POSEIDON'S SON better at the weights after closing well for a narrow third over 1190m here. Shapes as the main danger. STARZAM (1) proven at this level and strips fitter after he chipped away late on resumption with a plugging fourth over 1048m at this track. No surprise to see closing strongly. PEONY (2) fourth-up for this and finally drawn a decent barrier. Snagged back from the outside gate with a battling eighth over 1190m at this track. Will race closer to the speed and can add value to the exotics. GAYLORD (5) never comfortable first-up in the heavy going at the Gold Coast and remains unbeaten at this course. Improver.

Last start 8th of 10 at this track Bm74 on March 5 over 1190m, 4.5 len behind Poseidon's Son carrying 61kg at $101. Before that 7th of 11 at this track Bm74 on February 3 over 1400m, 4 len behind Next Pay Run with 61.5kg at $151. Should be at peak fitness now from the better draw.

On a three run winning streak. Last start favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track Bm74 March 5 over 1190m defeating Immortality carrying 55kg at $2.15. The race before that favourite; won by 2 len at Lismore Bm66 February 10 over 1220m on a soft track defeating Cabsav with 60.5kg at $1.50. Talented gelding going quickly through his grades, hard to stop in this vein of form.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at this track Bm74 on March 5 over 1190m, neck behind Poseidon's Son with 55kg at $14. The run before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a neck at Gold Coast Poly Bm55 February 14 over 1050m defeating Bee Exact carrying 60.5kg at $8. Thereabouts at his last three runs, top-three contender.

At the latest run second last of 10 at Coffs Harbour Bm58 on March 1 over 1212m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Little Prophet carrying 60kg at $6.50. Before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.8 len at Coffs Harbour Cg&E Bm58 February 15 over 1000m in the wet defeating Fall For Autumn with 58kg at $3.40. Not keen on his chances.
