Race Analysis
ALWAYS A RAINBOW (10) broke her maiden last start over 1m1/2f at Grafton, scoring by a long neck. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Nicely placed to double the win tally. SONDER (5) doesn't win out of turn but was in the finish last time when beaten a long neck into second over 1m3f at Grafton. Reunites with Luke Rolls who has been in the money two times when aboard. Leading contender. GRAN CABALLO (1) is resuming from a lay-off of 11 months and having his first run for the Patrick Cleave yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Wyong over 1m2 3/4f. Ran fifth in a trial at Scone over 6f recently. Well-placed and is among the chances. ROCK THE MACHINE (4) produced a better run last start, beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 7f21yards at Grafton. Finds a nice race and can atone.
