Ranford's Family Butcher

Prize Money: $2,925

LETHAL AVENGER (6) has a strong record here with three wins and a minor from seven starts. Placed last time at Traralgon in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten. Looks a key chance on best form. LUCKY HARPER (1) was below latest but prior to that a Bottom Up - Grade 5 winner in quick time (24.85) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Expected to bounce back to best. NIKITA BALE (3) goes very well here starting six times for two wins and two minors. In the money last time at Geelong (22.86) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths second. Can feature in the finish. NICKED AGAIN (2) was out of placings last time (25.41) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing seventh (25.41) at this track last start. Has a solid record off the draw but prefer the place this line-up.
