Traralgon Race 8

Royal Exchange Hotel

Stake: $1,867

WEIRD KAREN (1) Nice effort when winning last start at Warragul and will appreciate a good box. Finishes off strongly. Going well this campaign and getting better in recent performances. Goes very close. I'M EASY (6) Average at best when 5th last time at Warragul. Should get going late. Will be there at the finish. SOMERTON WILLOW (8) Competitive effort when 2nd last time at Warragul and can find a nice position from the draw. Displays good early speed. Will be around the mark at odds. TOMMY THE HOOD (3) Ran 2nd last start at Warragul and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Honest enough to be an each way player.

Was all too good winning last start at Warragul and drawn beautifully. In fine form since coming back from a break and form has been improving over recent runs. Definite contender.
