AU - Grafton - Race 3

CONFEDERATE LADY (7) overcame a slow start to score an impressive win first-up over this distance at Port Macquarie. Goes from a Class 1 to a Class 3 which is never easy but her figures suggest she is up to the task. WHAT A RUSH (2) stalked the leader then went home too well in a Class 2 over 5 ½f at Port Macquarie last time out. Led all the way to score over this distance at the same stage last prep. Building a nice record and can add to it today. DUSAN (1) was 40 days between runs when a game second over this journey at Murwillumbah recently. Speedy customer who failed at this level two back but looks to be going better now. AMAYA'S SECRET (3) is an interesting runner back after a 13-month absence. Won twice over this course and distance when last in work. Betting crucial. PRESSALONG (6) hasn't fired in two appearances this campaign but a mid-prep trial win at Lismore recently may signal a revival.
