Taree Race 5

Tg Ladbrokes Popular Srm 8-15

Prize Money: $1,350

BUGATTI MINX (4) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (21.00) in a Grade 6 at Capalaba latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Will find this more suitable and can atone. TRALEE DIGBY (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 300m behind Where's The Luck (18.36) in a Grade 5. One of the better chances. WILDFIRE MISS (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (18.24) in a Grade 5 at this track. One of the main contenders. FLYING MINTER (2) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Drawn the inside. Most recently finished last over 300m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (18.24) behind Mulwee Princess in a Grade 5 on February 28. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 300m at this track. Can't make much of a case this time.

Lines up from box 3 for the first time after finishing a 14 length fifth at this track (18.36) in a Grade 5. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Capalaba (21.00) in a Grade 6, finishing a 11 length sixth. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
