Traralgon Race 4

Monacellars

Stake: $4,099

SHARNI'S SECRET (7) Set the tempo to win last time at the track in 24.1s over 425m. Will go well. MORE THAN WORDS (8) Didn't attack the line when 5th last time at this track. Likely to bounce back and can find a nice position from the draw. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. BAYWARA (5) Finished 4th last time at Sale. Giving another chance here. Displays good early speed. Hard to knock and looks a nice each way proposition. WHY NOT IRIS (1) Ran over the top of them when winning last time at Sale in 24.47s over 435m and can save some energy from the box. Solid place bet prospects.

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at Sale in 24.47s over 435m and has the ideal box. On a winning streak the last 2 runs. Can go close.

Started at $20.00 and appeared lacklustre when 6th last time at Shepparton. Finishes off strongly. Respect the betting.

Started $5.00 and faded to finish 5th last time at the track. Likely to bounce back and has a positive box. Should progress and will be close.
