Grafton Tips July 15
Barastoc Wards Mistake Rural Plate Tips (Race 3)
Grafton Best Bet - Race 3 No. 7 Firm Agreement
Class has never been the issue for Firm Agreement, who produced five Group placings during his three-year-old season, including a third in the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes and a runner-up finish behind Aeliana in the Group 1 Australian Derby.
The gelding then lost his way with disappointing performances in Brisbane late last year and earlier this season.
Third-up at Ipswich on July 3, he benefited from a significant class drop and a favourable draw, allowing him to settle closer before getting the better of Benzino, who had previously bolted in at Doomben.
That victory should do his confidence the world of good, and he finds himself beautifully placed under the set weights conditions.
The highest-rated runner in the field, Firm Agreement drops 4kg from his latest victory and also receives weight from the only other two runners at single-figure odds.
Fidelity Capital Class 2 Handicap Tips (Race 4)
Grafton Roughie - Race 4 No. 10 Gold Puma
Long odds are available for the resuming Gold Puma, who has generally been campaigned over longer distances.
Despite that, she finished runner-up over 1200m at her second start, and there was merit in her debut fifth at Casino, where she made ground over 1000m.
The daughter of Alabama Express was more competitive throughout her second preparation under Ethan Ensby, highlighted by a narrow fresh defeat at Grafton before breaking through at Lismore over the useful Sinatra.
She should have finished much closer at the Gold Coast on November 1, with two subsequent third placings before looking ready for a spell over 1550m at Murwillumbah in December.
Gold Puma resumes off a quiet trial, and with Jean Van Overmeire striking at 28% this month, she's a genuine knockout hope in an open race.
Winning Edge Presentations Handicap Tips (Race 5)
Grafton Next Best Bet - Race 5 No. 5 Vixenette
Leading country rider Aaron Bullock arrives at Grafton in terrific form, striking at 30% in July after riding four winners at Scone last Friday and a double here on Sunday.
He takes the reins aboard Vixenette, who looks to be working towards a peak performance for the Matthew Dunn stable.
Competitive on stable debut over 1200m, the former Victorian then chased home handy stablemate Too Hot to Talk at Murwillumbah when racing in the inferior ground.
Nothing went right at Ipswich last time after she struck traffic in the straight when ridden for luck, and that June 25 race has already produced two subsequent winners.
The rise to a mile looks ideal fourth-up, and Bullock has a favourable draw to work with.
Grafton District Club Ramornie Handicap Tips (Race 7)
Grafton Feature Bets - Race 7 No. 13 Lisztomania & No. 14 World Alliance
It's a typically competitive edition of the Listed Ramornie Handicap, with several genuine winning hopes lining up.
Pereille deserves favouritism on recent form, although he's becoming costly, while Lisztomania and World Alliance both appeal at each-way odds.
Lisztomania landed the cash first-up at Eagle Farm when winning a Benchmark 85 at a generous price and does look to have this as a winter target for the Todd Payne-trained sprinter.
World Alliance is never the easiest horse to catch, but he's capable on his day, having remained competitive despite wide draws in all three runs this campaign.
From a kinder barrier under Alysha Collett, who partnered him in a quiet tick-over trial on July 7, World Alliance can settle closer and make his presence felt.
