Traralgon Race 8

Prize Money: $3,360

FLYING DOORMAT (6) was unfancied last time out but hit the ground running to lead all the way, scoring by 0.8 lengths (23.88) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 425m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Can measure up again. DR. ZAIDEN (1) was a (24.41) winner last time out at Sale from Box 6. Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Leading chance again. REALITY SECRET (2) found some support last start but struggled into fifth (25.95), beaten 5 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. PAW GUSTO (3) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts back but finished third last time (22.17) at Shepparton. Goes very well from this draw with five wins and two minor placings from 10 starts.

Impressive performance tracking the speed and going on to score by 1.1 lengths in a Free For All last start at Sale, clocking a slick 24.41 over the 435m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a SE on October 30 over 460m at Geelong behind Chevron Stroll beaten 5 lengths (25.95). Placed two back at Geelong. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.23) in a Special conditions race, finishing a 16 length seventh. Has four successes and four minors from 13 starts from box 4. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (16.94) over 300m at Healesville. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Strong performance to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 425m (23.88) beating Daddy Cool in Grade 4/5 on October 30. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 6, scoring two times. Go close.
