Traralgon Race 13

Prize Money: $1,530

TAKE A PHOENIX (2) has mixed form recently, finishing eighth (17.60) in a Grade 5 at Healesville latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can turn form around here. SOMERTON ANN (3) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (25.07) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Sale last time out. Can feature with the right run. REDBACK EXPRESS (1) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (23.75) last time in a Grade 5 at Warragul. Should be in this for a long way. CATCH A CUTIE (4) is worth a look over a shorter trip this time.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by one length at Sale (24.99) beating Midnight Shimmer in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on June 17. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
