Tld Team Gough Putts For Dad

Prize Money: $2,925

ZIPPING CHOI (2) boasts a strong record this journey with 10 wins and seven minors from 26 tries. Was out of placings last time (16.88) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Looks a key chance on best form. MAJOR ILLUSION (7) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (19.86) but scored four back at this track (19.32). Leading chance. NIGHTTIME (4) last start finished 4th over 425m at Traralgon beaten 9 lengths (24.47) behind Go Home Girl in a Grade 5 on September 25. Suited here and expected to run well. DUNDEE REX (1) form at this course and distance reads well.

Latest effort finished 6th on September 20 over 300m at this track behind Lady Gunai beaten 4.5 lengths (16.88) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
