Best Bet:


Race 7 No. 2 Swift Charm

He's still lightly raced for a seven-year-old and Brett Cavanough has him in nice touch at present, with the gelding going off the boil slightly after showing promise early.

Swift Charm was well backed when resuming at Coffs Harbour on December 30 and while he had to settle for third-of-eighth finish there, it was a terrific run against the race pattern.

The son of Per Incanto came from back and wide in a leader dominated event that was taken out by Moskeeta, an in-form sprinter who saluted again two starts later at Grafton.

He arrives off a Highway triumph, where Swift Charm beat a handful of horses who were coming out of a Highway that rated well and that includes Sturn Words (subsequent winner).

Value Bet:


Race 8 No. 10 Roman Rebel

There's improvement to come from the January 1 return, where the five-year-old tired in the last furlong after racing keenly and he was wide with cover via that 1200m Class 3.

That Inverell race has already produced three winners and Roman Rebel worked very well prior to that New Year's Day performance when successful in a 1015m trial at Ballina.

While he may have had issues being so lightly tried, the Grafton local has shown promise, with four competitive efforts in 2023 and the last of those was a stylish fresh win.

This looms as a more favourable set-up for Roman Rebel, as barrier four gives Matthew McGuren a better chance of settling in the first pair or two early (could lead).

Market Mover:


Race 6 No. 16 Whiskey Miss

This filly worked home fairly well on debut at a big price and with Unibet Australia, Whiskey Miss has been supported at long odds ($21.00-$11.00).

The extra 100m should suit the daughter of Pierro at start two, however, she has another wide gate to overcome.

Stats Say:


John Shelton is the leading Grafton trainer this season, with eight winners prepared at a healthy strike rate of 21.05%.

He has accepted with two runners on Tuesday's card (Races 6 and 7) and both representatives are over $20 in the early markets.
