Grafton Race 4 - Remembering Gae Palmer Mdn Hcp
SASQUA (4) is back from a 28-week spell for a second campaign. Showed ability when last in work including a close third on debut over 1206m at Port Macquarie. Takes on a shorter assignment this time but he has good natural speed and should be prominent from the outset. PRESTIGE BLUE (7) has not raced since a moderate sixth on debut over 1000m at this track in March. Suspect he will have more to offer this time around. CERANO MAGIC (1) started at $3.20 but after getting too far back failed to get involved first-up over 1000m at Taree. Tricky gate to contend with but is open to sharp improvement. SIDEACT (5) is back from a spell after just one run in the maiden prep, a slogging second in heavy going at Taree on 30 June. Draws a nice gate and will give a good account again. SYMO'S BOY (14) hasn't been all that far away in two runs this prep and should be peaking now.

Fitter now and worth following up.
