Traralgon Race 5

Trfm (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

CLYDE BALE (1) finds it hard to break through. Finished third (23.24) at Geelong latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Must come into calculations. PAW MELODY (8) is having her first look at this course. Comes here a last start placegetter at Geelong in a Bottom Up - Grade 6 (23.67). Hard to beat again. PAW XELA (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (23.23) last time in a Bottom Up - Grade 6 at Geelong. Can do much better this time. DR. MITCH (7) will run well despite no experience on this track. Something for the Multiples: DR. SMOKEY (5)

In the money last time at Geelong (23.24) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win, finishing a 7 length third. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from six starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
