Walcha Race 3 - Graziers Cup Hcp (C2)
SNATCHREILLY (1) won a Class 1 over this distance three back and has been sound in two subsequent runs. Went close two back at Armidale then had his chance at Gunnedah last start over this trip but didn't quicken as hoped. Drops 2kgs today and from a nice gate can turn things around. BROKEN WINGS (5) led but was overhauled in the closing stages when fresh from a 53-day break over 1150m at the Beaumont track on Monday. Will take a lot from that run and drops back to her favoured trip. Big threat on the four-day backup. AMORUSO (6) was a month between runs when she showed pace but wilted late over 1200m at Tamworth recently. Lightly raced mare whose only win and placing have come at 1000m. Eligible for an easier race but should give a good account. SIGNATORIES (2) led for the judge but peaked on his run when resuming over 900m at Scone last start. Perfectly drawn and drops sharply in the weights so expect more resistance today. AMARONE (3) can feature first-up from a 15-week spell.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Gunnedah Ctry Bm58 on January 19 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Haiku Star carrying 59.5kg at $5. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 3rd of 7 at Armidale Bm58 on January 5 over 1100m, neck behind Quick Sharp carrying 61kg at $3.50. Hard to beat on his best form.

Second run back. First-up after five months led to the turn then faded 5th of 10 at Scone Bm58 on January 29 over 900m, 2 len behind Beyond My Ken with 61.5kg at $2.90. Previously second-up second last of 14 at Scone Cl1 on May 16 over 1100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Shropshire Lad with 55kg at $41. Is a definite threat with the help of the inside alley.

Is first-up after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign fifth of 9 at Grafton Ctry Cl2 October 21 over 1410m, 4 len behind Next Pay Run carrying 57.5kg at $4.20. Previously first up; fourth of 11 at Muswellbrook Ctry Bm58 July 8 over 1000m, soft track; 0.9 len behind Manage The Cycle with 59kg at $31. Capable of a bold return.

Second run back. First-up after five months raced on the pace before fading second last of 9 at Port Macquarie Ctry Cl2 on January 23 over 1000m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Seymour Stars with 54kg at $17. Previously second-up 8th of 10 at Casino Bm50 on May 3 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 5.5 len behind Bellzen with 63.5kg at $7.50. Fitter and his best form measures up so keep him in mind.

Most recently faded in the straight 5th of 8 at Beaumont (Newcastle) Ctry Bm66 on February 2 over 1150m, slow going 3.5 len behind New Pharoah with 55kg at $15. The run before that settled back and ran on when 5th of 7 at Scone Bm58 on December 11 over 1200m, 5 len behind Myriad carrying 60kg at $3.50. Can play a key role on the quick back-up.
