Taree Race 10

Taree Gbota Supporters 5th Grade Heat 5 H

Prize Money: $1,350

TRALEE VIXEN (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (19.87) at Gunnedah. Has never missed the frame here from four starts. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Well-placed to take this out. SPITFIRE GEORGE (2) ran below best last time finishing fifth (18.00) over 300m at this track in a Grade 5. Should be about the mark. DOLLY DAWN (7) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when second (17.59) in a Grade 5 over 300m at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. RACCOON RHIA (8) did a good job to finish third last time out over 450m at Grafton (26.13) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

In the money last time at Gunnedah (19.87) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length second. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks well placed and should feature.
