Race-by-race tips and preview for Grafton on Sunday
Selections based on a soft track. 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.
