Traralgon Race 8

Royal Exchange Hotel

Prize Money: $1,530

INDY GRANT (2) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 2 lengths at Warragul in a handy 23.34. Draws to advantage and goes well over this trip. Can measure up again. GALLOPING JESSIE (1) is a quick beginner who bombed the start last time and missed the frame, finishing seventh (20.48) in a Special conditions Veteran race at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Shapes as one to consider. GO STEVIE (3) is an honest type who is having his first try here. Had the inside and was too good last time scoring by 1.1 lengths at Sale over 435m (24.88). Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. JUMPING OREO (8) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a Grade 4/5 at Warragul over 400m.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including four wins. Should be right in the finish.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 400m at Warragul in a handy (23.18), beating Angry Ellie. Will find this a bit tougher, can't recommend in this field.
