Our Grafton Horse Racing Tips for Mondays meeting.
Flying Pretty (Grafton Race 2 No. 5)
This five-year-old Bernadini mare trained by Paul Smith at Coffs Harbour has two wins and 10 places from 32 starts and has ran well at all three starts this preparation. Second-up she moved up to hit the front approaching the turn and kept going for a 2.59 length win over 1310m at Lismore on 9 February, then she chased solidly for 0.4, 0.65 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Port Macquarie on 4 March. She looks ready to win this fillies and mares BM 58 handicap.

King Farouk (Grafton Race 4 No. 5):
This five-year-old Poet’s Voice gelding trained by Owen Glue at Lismore has had 11 starts for three places. He chased solidly and had to be steadied after improving onto heels at the 50m and finished 1.1 lengths 4th but should have been closer over 1106m at Grafton on 2 March, then battled on fairly for 3.99 lengths 4th over 1420m at Grafton on 1420m. Stepping up in distance here he has drawn ideally in barrier 2 and gets blinkers on for the first time. He will be fitter third-up and looks a solid place chance.

Helmet Head (Grafton Race 10 No. 6):
This four-year-old Helmet gelding trained by Matthew Dunn at Murwillumbah is the early favourite in this C&G BM 58 handicap over 1425m. At the end of last campaign he finished 4 lengths 5th in a Gold Coast Class 1 plate over 1800m on 3 November. Resuming from a spell he made some ground in the straight for 4.46 lengths 5th over 1215m at Grafton on 14 March. He rises in trip here and offers no value.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the

Key Comments The rail is true. Racing on the synthetic. The best bet comes up in the first and just needs even luck from the barrier to be winning. Best Bet Howgoodisvegas (Canberra Race 1 No. 1) 2 wins on the trot and both of them have been convincing. Should be able to slide forward from the wide draw and make It three in a row.
