Graff, who has been very good in two runs back from a spell, is the favourite to take out the Golden Rose (1400m) this Saturday at Rosehill.

The Kris Lees trained colt resumed with a sharp win in the San Domenico before going to the Run To The Rose where he was wide no cover yet still fought on bravely behind Lean Mean Machine ($6). Graff heads betting at $3.50.

Would not be surprised if the market changes. The Autumn Sun is at $4.60, and I think he starts shorter given he did comfortably beat several key runners in the JJ Atkins.
