Grafton Race 1 - Team Aidan Mother's Day Markets 10 May Hcp
Tricky little contest to start the day. WITHOUT SURRENDER (2) excellent debut when he sat on the speed for a narrow second over 1000m at this track from the outside gate. Has plenty of upside and will prove tough to beat. EVER SO READY (1) deep into the campaign and will find this more to his liking. Raced on the speed with the 59kg before he faded to finish seventh over 1110m at Doomben. Assess on his good placing at Eagle Farm three-back. Leading player. ACRODANCE (3) resumes. Won on debut last December, then thrown in the deep end when last in the G3 Bruce McLachlan over 1200m at Eagle Farm last December. Placed in a recent trial at the Gold Coast and stays in the mix. LE STARCELL (5) chipped away late on debut to secure third over 1000m at this track. Can sneak into the minor money.

At the latest run sat on the pace before fading 7th of 9 at Doomben 2yo Hcp on April 22 over 1110m, 6 len behind Berzelius carrying 59kg at $8.50. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Doomben 2yo Hcp on April 11 over 1110m, 1.5 len behind Fearless Win carrying 58kg at $4.80. Rates highly and can bounce back in this easier contest.

Dual acceptor. Jumped at long odds at debut, rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 7 at this track 2yo Hcp on April 19 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Vantorix with 57kg at $26. Has plenty of upside and expected to go one better.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Not seen since she finished last of 8 at Eagle Farm in the G3 Bj Mclachlan December 27 over 1200m, soft track; 15 len behind Zip Lock carrying 55kg at $201. On debut won by head Sunshine Coast 2yo Mdn-Sw November 30 over 1000m slow track defeating Maganista carrying 56.5kg at $1.55. Looks set for a bright return in this grade.
