Traralgon Race 10

Gold 1242

Prize Money: $2,925

MATCHBOX HONEY (6) placed two back in a Grade 5 at Warragul then backed that up with a third (23.19) over 400m at Warragul last time. Key player on best and worth another chance. MISS COCO (1) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when third (25.91) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Well placed here and can atone this time. PAW ENSLEY (7) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 2 lengths (22.67) behind Patriot Niamh at Warragul. Expected to be in this for a long way. GREEN FROG CAFE (2) will be hard to beat despite making his debut at this circuit.

Was out of placings last time (25.08) at Sale in a Grade 5 H, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting four places from eight starts. Can feature in the finish.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 400m at Warragul in a handy (22.95), beating Playback. Will find this a bit tougher, shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at Warragul latest but prior to that recorded a flying 22.55 over 400m finishing second at Warragul. Looks the one to beat on run two back.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at Warragul when a 2 length second but did run a solid 22.67 over the 400m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.
