Traralgon Race 9

Smoking Jo Tyres (1-2 Wins) (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

HOLLY HOOK (8) finished second (20.57) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 6th there. The form from her last run stacks up well. Should be very hard to beat this time. WOODY GREY (3) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when second (20.72) in a T3 Grade 7 over 350m at this track. Can turn it around this time. TAKE A IRIS (7) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (20.83) in a T3 Grade 7 at this track. Worth following up. ASTON BENTLEY (1) is another with top-three prospects.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 350m in 20.49. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 350m at this track at T3 Grade 7 level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Has struggled to find form of late. Last raced when fell over 350m at this track seven weeks ago. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Placed at both starts this track and trip. Latest effort finished 2nd in a T3 Grade 7 on August 3 over 350m at this track behind Bear Hunt beaten 6 lengths (20.72). Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Has a maiden win to his credit but has been finding it hard to feature subsequently. Last raced when seventh over 400m at Warragul two-and-a-half weeks ago. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by a neck at this track (20.59) beating Hilltop Hood in a Maiden on July 20. Prepared to risk this time.
