Grafton Tips July 16


Crown Hotel Motel Country Boosted Maiden Tips (Race 1)


Grafton Favourite - Race 1 No. 14 Vivika

It'll be interesting to see what the market does late with Vivika, who is a firm fav for the opener at Grafton, but the Matthew Dunn-trained youngster does have a wide to overcome.

Her two winter trials leading into this return assignment have both been good and the daughter of Exceedance brings an easy reference to like through her debut second behind Sunrays.

Sunrays completed a hat-trick via that QTIS Jewel Prelude and following a runner-up finish on via her Group 3 return on May 10, she won her next two appearances at Listed level.

Tursa Grafton Guineas Tips (Race 3)


Grafton Next Best Bet - Race 3 No. 9 Silent Call

All Matthew Dunn horses should be respected, especially his tried recruits and the Murwillumbah stable has been going well with these lightly raced middle-distance/staying types from southern yards.

Silent Call will have no trouble with a strong mile for this third-up attempt and following a good stable without luck, he got a maiden kill on June 22 when going 1200m to 1550m.

He's well-bred, with Silent Call from the same family as Redoute's Choice, Platinum Scissors and Manhattan Rain, while he's timed his Grafton Guineas path well vs rivals who have question marks.

Fidelity Capital Class 2 Handicap Tips (Race 6)


Grafton Best Bet - Race 6 No. 7 Zoutastic

After a covering ground on a Soft 7 via her provincial return at Hawkesbury return, Zoutastic will strip fitter, while a kinder draw and a return to a firmer surface are also positives here.

Despite being Class 1 eligible, the filly showed potential in some handy races over her first three campaigns and she got on the board when taking out a Super Maiden at Wagga last prep.

Seven winners have been produced from that January 26 event, which includes Majorca Sunset, who was a metro maiden victor over Polymnia (Group placed twice over autumn).

Grafton District Club Ramornie Handicap Tips (Race 7)


Grafton Feature Bet - Race 7 No. 14 Tribeca Star

It's a competitive edition of the Ramornie Handicap and off what's predicted to be a fast tempo, this resuming five-year-old should be strong at the end of six furlongs.

Two of his last three victories have come over 1400m, however, Tribeca Star has a decent record at this distance, with three wins and five placings recorded from 10 tries at 1200m.

He also comes to hand early (never finished out of the money first or second-up) and the Fukubana form from February has stacked up, with that galloper stakes-placed after winning a Doomben BM85.
