AU - Grafton - Race 4

QUESTIONABLE (5) brings the most reliable recent profile, winning as an odds-on favourite at Dubbo after another sound placing there, and her season record gives her the right platform to handle the rise to this staying test. The first look at this track and around 1 7/16m is the small reservation, but she is racing with purpose and gets useful claim assistance. SUN TOPAZE (1) is the proven local staying yardstick, having won at this venue two back before missing by a nose last week, and his wet-track record makes him a major threat. CALIFORNIA GRASS (2) was only just behind that same line last week and has enough distance background to press again, though she has to turn the tables on Sun Topaze. WOODLAND WONDER (8) had genuine excuses when wide last start and had been beaten only a long neck by Sun Topaze the run prior, profiles as a sound place hope with a case if the longer trip brings him on.
