Race-by-race tips and preview for Grafton on Sunday
Race 1
1. Gaylord is a former Peter Snowden-trained galloper having his first start here for Matthew Dunn. He was placed at Canterbury on debut before tackling another two city races. Dunn has given him two trials in preparation for this resuming run, and he won a heat at Doomben last month. 11. Torque Ti Amo debuted with a midfield effort at this track last September and resumes here after two trials. She should be primed to run well. 8. Rock On Angel was placed at the Sunshine Coast at her only start and is first-up here after two trials. 9. Exceed Me ran third at Port Macquarie at his only start and can figure here without surprising.
How to play it: Gaylord WIN.
Race 2
2. Star Ambition was a winner on debut at the Sunshine Coast then ran second at Eagle Farm before being unplaced in two Gold Coast runs. He resumes here on the back of two trial wins and looks set to sprint well fresh. 5. Beyond My Ken has finished seventh in his past two starts at Scone and has the advantage of barrier one in this event. 4. Mofeed bolted in when scoring a last-start Scone victory and could go on with the job now he's broken through. 7. Humphree Bear won a maiden at this track in February and ran second at Murwillumbah at his last start.
How to play it: Star Ambition WIN.
Race 3
4. Another Peach was placed in three runs last campaign before being spelled. She had two trials before resuming at Mudgee and running a solid race when finishing second. She has plenty of upside and can break through in this. 3. Piedi Veloci ran well when a last-start second at Coffs Harbour and can show up again here with a repeat. 6. Herald Angel has been placed in each of two starts and warrants thought again despite the wide barrier. 11. Sawmill has been placed in all four starts to date and only needs to maintain that form to be in the thick of things again.
How to play it: Another Peach WIN.
Race 4
10. Diamondsaremio has finished third at Moree and Tamworth either side of a sixth at Coffs Harbour. She should get a good run from the inside barrier in this event and gets her chance to bounce back to top form. 13. Rock The Machine hit the line well to score as favourite at Port Macquarie when last produced and has bright claims again with a repeat of that. 3. Monte Maximus was a Casino winner before a last-start fifth in Highway grade at Rosehill. 8. Aye Aye Skipper has been racing well with a couple of recent placings and has claims again.
How to play it: Diamondsaremio EACH WAY.

Kyle Wilson-Taylor steps up for double with trainer Chris Waller at Eagle Farm
The big boys have left town, now it's Kyle Wilson-Taylor's time to shine. With the Queensland winter carnival well and truly over and the star southern jockeys either back home or on holidays, Wilson-Taylor collected a double with a couple of textbook rides on the Chris Waller-trained $11 chances Yet He Moves and Caboche. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Wilson-Taylor steered gelding Yet He Moves to victory in a Benchmark 78 Handicap over a mile before winning on Caboche in an open handicap at the same distance in the next race. 'The carnival is gone and the city jocks have gone home so that gives us a crack now,' Wilson-Taylor said. 'Chris (Waller) had a chat to me during the carnival and said once it goes, I'll be straight back in there. 'It's great to get these opportunities and even better to make the most of them. 'It helps when you draw good gates and have really well-prepared horses. 'I galloped him (Caboche) on Tuesday and he's one of my favourite horses.' Five-year-old gelding Yet He Moves flew down the outside in the straight to beat home Just Flying ($6) and $81 outsider Connecticut. Asked about the son of Adelaide going into the race without a trial after last running in early May over 1835m at Eagle Farm, Wilson-Taylor said: 'You never discount Mr Waller, he's the best trainer in the country for a reason. 'This horse is forward and just needs that sort of variety. He loves to switch off early and present at the right time and it all worked out for me today. 'I probably got there a bit soon and he switched off late but it's good signs going forward. 'Chris has been a really good supporter of mine in recent times and I've been doing a bit of work there and getting the results.' Caboche defeated $2.50 favourite Chica Mojito for a Waller quinella, with the Jack Bruce-trained This'llbetheone ($9.50) in third. There was a sad postscript to Caboche's victory, with the Chris and Corey-Munce-trained gelding Brookhaven being humanely euthanised on the track after breaking down entering the straight.

Matt Dunn three-year-old Neil has potential to sparkle like a diamond
Part-owner Dr Rob Sheahan has revealed the intriguing story of how the Matt Dunn -trained Neil got his name. Sheahan said the name was derived from a mixture of Dunn's respected bloodstock agent Neil Jenkinson and famous American singer Neil Diamond. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The gelding's dam happens to be Diamond Fund, whose son is Red Red Wine, a song written and recorded by Diamond in 1967. UB40 recorded a cover version of the song in 1983 that reached No.1 in the UK and No.7 in Australia. Neil, the son of Headwater, will compete in a 3YO Handicap for colts, geldings and entires over 1200m at Eagle Farm on Saturday. The gelding started at $5 in betting markets but had drifted to $10 on Friday, with the Billy Healey -trained Benzou ($2.80) and Chris Anderson's Lead Me On ($4.20) the favourites. 'I named him,' Lennox Head general practitioner Sheahan said about Neil. 'Because he's out of Diamond Fund, Red Red Wine was originally a Neil Diamond song, even though nearly everybody thinks it's a UB40 song. 'I always wanted to call a horse by a stupid name and Neil was from Neil Diamond. 'Matt Dunn's bloodstock agent is Neil Jenkinson so it was quite funny, it was a double entendre. 'I've even got a T-shirt made up for Neil that says 'Neil's doing Neil things'.' Murwillumbah trainer Dunn, who returns home from a business trip to Sapporo in Japan on Sunday, is excited about Neil's potential given the galloper has won two out of his four races and finished runner-up at Eagle Farm this month in a Class 2 over 1000m. 'He's got a bit of talent but he's typical of the Headwaters in that things don't come easy for him,' Dunn said. 'He's still figuring out things properly. He wants to go quick, then slow down, and wants to go left when we need him to go right. 'But he's getting there and doing a pretty good job of it. He's certainly a talented horse and he's lobbed in the right race.' Dr Sheahan described Neil as a 'total goof' in his last start because the gelding 'did everything possibly wrong' but still finished second under Jake Bayliss, who will ride him again on Saturday from barrier two. 'I reckon if he'd won that race then someone from Hong Kong would've been interested in him,' Dr Sheahan said. 'I've actually been debating whether I want to sell him. It's like selling your grandchildren for money, it feels a bit funny.'

Seven-year-old gelding Galifianakis can continue his remarkable form at Eagle Farm
It's becoming increasingly clear why Deagon trainer Jack Bruce 's foreman calls Galifianakis the 'Benjamin Button' of Queensland racing. The seven-year-old has been in sizzling form since the autumn, winning two and placing in three of his past five races. Galifianakis will run in a Benchmark 78 over 1600m on Saturday at Eagle Farm as an $8 chance, with apprentice Cobi Vitler able to claim 3kg to reduce the weight to 59kg. The Grant Allard -trained gelding Merchant Flyer is the $3.60 favourite in a fairly open race. Galifianakis is coming off a narrow runner-up finish to the Kelly Schweida -trained Deep Respect in a Benchmark 85 (1400m) at odds of $71 on Caloundra Cup day. 'He is the stable's most winningest horse,' said Bruce, who has trained the gelding to all his seven wins from 37 races after taking over from Chris Waller in late 2022. 'I presume he's named after the movie star Zach Galifianakis (from The Hangover films). 'We bought him as a maiden from Sydney. He's just thriving, despite his age. 'My foreman (Ryan O'Connor) calls him Benjamin Button because he feels younger every week. 'He's getting better and he's maturing. He's stronger and happier than he's ever been. 'That's partly me learning how to keep him in the right zone because I've trained him for a while now.' Bruce said he was confident that Galifianakis would run strongly fresh last start at the Sunshine Coast but 'pleasantly surprised' when he almost snatched victory. 'He should've won – he drew barrier seven and had to go back to almost last,' the trainer said. '(Jockey) Ash Morgan said if he'd drawn five instead of seven, he would've won the race which would've been quite something.' • Galifianakis started his racing career at Newcastle in February 2022 under Sydney's premier trainer Waller and while he was consistent, he failed to break his maiden status. Under Bruce, he went on a tear in February and March in 2023, winning four straight races, at the Gold Coast polytrack and Ipswich, to stamp his claims as a rising talent. Galifianakis, who has won just under $335,000 in prizemoney, briefly went up to north Queensland under trainer Tom Button for three races during last year's winter before being transferred back to Bruce's stable. 'Ideally he races well this weekend and it's another stepping stone for his prep and getting him out in distance eventually,' Bruce said. 'Last prep he enjoyed having more runs in the shorter trips and he actually won at the mile (on March 16 at the Sunshine Coast) and ran really well at 1400m. 'I'm going to keep quite an open mind about how I proceed through this preparation but he ran a super race first-up and he's in good health and good order. 'That run didn't knock him around so I expect to go well second-up on Saturday. 'I still think he'll end up getting out in trip but I'm happy to take it run by run.'
