Grafton racing tips & quaddie picks | Tuesday, October 24
| What | Grafton Races |
| Where | Clarence River Jockey Club – Powell St, Grafton NSW 2460 |
| When | Tuesday, October 24, 2023 |
| First Race | 1:50pm AEDT |
Country racing heads to Grafton on Tuesday afternoon for a quickfire seven-race program commencing at 1:50pm local time. The later start time should allow conditions to dry out, with a Good 4 surface predicted. The rail is out +5.5m between the 800m and the winning post, then out +4.5m for the remainder.
Best Bet: Sir Ravanelli
Sir Ravanelli has been a consistent type around the country racing circuits, but the Terry Evans barn tried him in metropolitan company first-up at Warwick Farm on October 2. The six-year-old gelding was far from disgraced, travelling wide throughout the 1100m journey but sticking on to only be defeated by 3.5 lengths. He returns to a much more suitable grade second-up, and with barrier one to guide Sir Ravanelli, we’d be shocked if he wasn’t fighting out the finish.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#3 Sir Ravanelli (1)
6yo Gelding | T: Terry Evans | J: Darryl McLellan (58kg)
Next Best: Red Cobra
It’s been 12 starts without a win for Red Cobra, but he doesn’t seem far away. His form rates well, with minor placings behind the likes of Let’s Try and Hasty Honey, and he appears to be relishing the gradual rise in trip as the campaign goes on. Anna Roper takes the reins again and should give Red Cobra every conceivable chance to break his maiden from a soft draw.
Next Best
Race 4 – 
#2 Red Cobra (1)
4yo Gelding | T: Damien Lane | J: Anna Roper (a1.5kg) (59kg)
Best Value: She’s A Bad Girl
She’s A Bad Girl finally broke her maiden first-up at Muswellbrook on September 12, but she wasn’t quite able to go on with the job second-up at the same course and distance on October 2. We’re putting it down to the firm going, as horses struggled to make up significant ground from back in the field. She’ll appreciate getting to the 1120m at the wider Grafton circuit, and with Anna Roper back in the saddle after saluting first-up, we’ll be seeing a better version of She’s A Bad Girl here.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#4 She’s A Bad Girl (10)
4yo Mare | T: Damien Lane | J: Anna Roper (a1.5kg) (58kg)
