Traralgon Race 9

Prize Money: $2,925

DR. STEFAN (2) goes very well here including two wins. Below best last time at this track (20.10) in a Mix 6/7, finishing a 4 length fifth. Looks the one to beat with even luck. DR. BROCCA (7) broke through for his maiden success last time out at this track over 350m (19.96). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. HARD MAN (8) struggled in tougher grade last start at this track, but prior to that won by 1.3 lengths at Sale (24.62) beating Lucky Limo in a Mix 6/7 FIN on October 25. Likely to play a prominent role. SCOTCH DEALER (3) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to turn the form around.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 400m in 22.72. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 390m at Shepparton at Mix 6/7 level. Looking to others this time.

Well fancied last start but could only manage fifth over 350m at this track in 20.10. Had been going well prior to that. Tricky box latest but drawn closer to the inside here. Ready to find his best form again.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (20.19) over 350m at this track. Has a low draw and is in the mix.

Solid performance to win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 350m (19.96) beating Night Havoc in Maiden on October 30. Looks the one to beat again.

Did a good job two starts back at Sale to win by 1.3 lengths in 24.62, beating Lucky Limo. Last start finished last on October 30 over 425m at this track behind Flying Doormat beaten 15 lengths (24.92) in a Grade 4/5. Top-three hope with the right run.
