Awesome foursome gallopers to feature at Grafton

Trainer Matthew Dunn will be out to avenge a frustrating weekend when he takes a strong team of four gallopers to Grafton on Tuesday.

Dunn’s pair of Golden Decade and Without Parallel finished ninth and 10th in The Kosciuszko at Randwick on Saturday, before he had three short-priced favourites – Sinatra, Insta Worthy and Deep Stealth – all finish second at Lismore on Sunday.

The Murwillumbah-based Dunn will open his account on Tuesday when Rupestris contests the Graftontickets.com.au Country Boosted Maiden Handicap (1006m) with Andrew Mallyon to ride.

Dunn gave the son of Kingman one start at Doomben in April when he finished fifth on the back of two good trials.

Rupestris has since had another two barrier trials and finished third in each at Doomben and the Gold Coast.

Pre-post odds-on favourite Another Cashie will represent Dunn in the Team Aidan Markets @ CRJC 23 November Maiden Plate (1206m). Matthew McGuren takes the ride.

Another Cashie, a three-year-old gelding by Castelvecchio, had a total of five trials spread over three preparations before making his debut with a narrow second at Ballina with McGuren in the saddle in that event as well.

Mallyon combines with Dunn again for his final two runners at Grafton. The jockey will partner She’s Exotic in the Jacaranda Cup Prelude Benchmark 82 Handicap (1106m) and Tietar in the CRJC Christmas Race Day 30 November Country Boosted Class 2 Handicap (1410m).

She’s Exotic was on debut for the Dunn stable when winning at Ipswich in August and has since contested two events at Doomben unsuccessfully.

Tietar is second-up from a spell in its event after finishing eighth at Ballina when resuming.

Meanwhile, Mallyon has two other leading mounts at Grafton with both being for Newcastle trainer Kris Lees.

Mallyon rides Star Venture in the same event that Another Cashie contests, while he is on Sethfire in the CRJC AGM 12 November Maiden Plate (1710m).

Star Venture has been placed in five of 13 starts, while Sethfire resumed with a strong finishing fourth at Port Macquarie and had been placed in three straight before being spelled.
