Our Grafton Horse Racing Tips for Thursdays meeting.
Ice In Vancouver (Grafton Race 6 No. 10)
This three-year-old Vancouver gelding trained by Cody Morgan at Tamworth has three wins from five starts and has won on soft going. When resuming from a 26 week spell he led on the rails before drifting out and coming clear for a 3.87 length win over 1000m at Tamworth on 23 April, then he raced ungenerously in the middle stages before being crowded and winded for 5.65 lengths over 1000m at Randwick on 12 June. He is much better suited here and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Looks the winner.

Each Way
Parry Sound (Grafton Race 7 No. 7):
This five-year-old Pierro gelding trained by Bjorn Baker at Warwick Farm has finished 2nd or 3rd at his last five starts. He got a split at the 350m and kept chasing for 1.66 lengths 2nd in the Listed Winter Cup over 2400m at Rosehill on 5 June with the best last 200m race sectional, then battled away on the heavy track for 1.21, 2.34 lengths 3rd in the Listed McKell Cup over 2000m at Rosehill on 19 June. Is very consistent and looks a good each-way chance in the Grafton Cup.

Hard Labour (Grafton Race 3 No. 6):
This four-year-old All Too Hard mare trained by Toby and Trent Edmonds at Bundall is the early favourite in this Fillies & Mares handicap over 1400m. She resumed from an 18 week spell for 3.95 lengths 5th over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 1 May where she lacerated a leg, then made ground out wide for 4.3 lengths 5th over 1350m at Doomben on 26 May. Has had a six week let-up and gets blinkers on for the first time but offers no value at the short price.

Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments The track is a synthetic tapeta-based surface and weather has minimal effect on how it races. The rail remains in the true position. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet is in the first and was explosive on debut. Expecting all to have their chance on this track that usually plays fair. Best Bet What A Cross (Sale Race 1 No. 10) Big finale on debut and looms at likeable odds here. Was smacked in betting then and almost pulled off the plunge when flying to the line. Looks a huge chance here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
