Traralgon Race 9

Flanagan's Irish Bar

Prize Money: $2,925

I'M EASY (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Sale behind Akina Lad (24.80) in a Grade 5. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. One of the contenders. NIKITA BALE (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (23.55) last time in a Grade 5 at Warragul. One of the better hopes. URBAN BITES (7) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, breaking through last time at this track over 350m. Form from his last run is proving strong. Will go close again if runs up to latest. PAW VADA (8) scored in dominant fashion last time. Sure to run well again.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (23.55) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length seventh. Has five wins and five placings from 15 starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4.5 lengths in 20.02, beating Shank's Pony. Last start finished 4th on June 12 over 350m at this track behind Paw Vada beaten 6 lengths (20.29) in a Grade 4/5. Has claims on best form.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (19.83) over 350m at this track. Solid chance with even luck.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
