Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 4 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 4 hours ago What Grafton Races Where Grafton Racecourse – 273 Powell St, Grafton NSW 2460 When Monday, November 25, 2024 First Race 12:40pm AEDT Visit Dabble A new week of racing commences in NSW with a bumper nine-race meeting at Grafton Racecourse on Monday afternoon. With plenty of rain in the region leading into the meeting, the track came up as a Heavy 8 at the time of acceptances, but with warm days forecast across the weekend, we should be racing on a Soft-rated surface. The rail comes out 5m from the 800m to the 400m and is out 3m the remainder, with action commencing at 12:40pm AEDT. Best Bet at Grafton: Second Sun Matthew Hoysted opts to take the lightly-raced Second Sun to Grafton following consecutive placings at Doomben to begin his campaign. The four-year-old gelding was forced to cover extra ground last time out when finishing second, beaten a half-length, and was left vulnerable late on. He arguably should have won that BM62 over the mile, but third-up from a spell and staying at the trip, Second Sun should be winning third-up for the second time in his career. Best Bet Race 8 – #1 Second Sun (10) 4yo Gelding | T: Matthew Hoysted | J: Andrew Mallyon (Weight kg) Bet with BlondeBet Next Best at Grafton: Saxinoue Saxinoue was rolled as favourite when returning at the 1181m at Grafton, but second-up at 1410m, the son of Saxon Warrior looks poised to strike. The three-year-old produced a similar performance on debut in his initial campaign but improved significantly with the run under his belt to score on a Heavy 8. Hopefully, he is a horse who just derives great benefit from his fresh run, because if he is anywhere near his best, Saxinoue should have a bit too much class on his side in the quaddie opener. Next Best Race 6 – #4 Saxinoue (5) 3yo Gelding | T: Matthew Dunn | J: Matthew McGuren (59kg) Bet with Playup Best Value at Grafton: Silver Canvas Silver Canvas produced a strong form reversal when narrowly defeated over 1400m at this track when racing close to the speed. The six-year-old gelding was just battling away in BM66 company prior and appreciated the step back to BM58 grade and put in a much better performance. Claire Ramsbotham sticks on board, and with her 3kg claim from barrier three, the pair look set to follow the speed throughout. With even luck in the home straight, Silver Canvas looks the wrong price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 7 – #1 Silver Canvas (3) 6yo Gelding | T: Shannon Manwarring | J: Claire Ramsbotham (a3) (62.5kg) Bet with Picklebet Monday quaddie tips for Grafton Grafton quadrella selections Monday, November 25, 2024 5-7-9 1-2-5-7 1-4 1-3-4-8-9-13 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
