Our Grafton Horse Racing Tips for Thursday’s meeting.
Best Bets
Youth Spirit (Grafton Race 7 No. 5)
Youth Spirit looks beautifully placed in this field. It has strong overseas form and only needs to find a length on the favourite, should be strip fitter and quite simply has more scope than most of these. The stable know how to win a feature race and can notch up another one here.
$7.50
Each Way
Schiller Bay (Grafton Race 8 No. 15)
Giving Schiller Bay a shout here. I am a fan of Ice In Vancouver but so much speed in the race could bring it undone and the map looks tricky. Schiller Bay is unbeaten at the track, maps to stalk the speed and handles these conditions. The favourite was rolled on this track as a $1.80 pop and the same can happen here.
$15.00
Best Lay
Dr Drill (Grafton Race 7 No. 2)
While Dr Drill does look well placed here that has also been the case for its past starts on many occasions now. It has been over 2 years since it has notched up a win and while it continues to race well, backing at $3.50 for a horse that hasn’t found a gold medal for 2 years simply does not look an ideal betting proposition.

Key Comments This track typically suits runners who can sustain a long run in the straight. The best bet comes up in the first and has very strong form for its race. Best Bet Miss Judas (Kembla Grange Race 1 No. 1) Ready to win and drops back from town for this. Form has been strong for this field and looks primed to take this out. The odds appeal and the map looks ideal. Analyst: Bryce Parker
