About
Tight Grip is a 5yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by Nevin Eades at Cranbourne. He is by Trapeze Artist out of La Questa and has secured four career victories. On 16 July 2026 at Cranbourne he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $35000.00 Bm62 Handicap. Throughout his campaign he has been a rewarding prospect for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded a 17% ROI.
