Eastern Caravan Hire

Stake: $3,568

ROADS END (1) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Traralgon over 425m behind Zipping Nuttall (25.11) in a Grade 5. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Has ability and is a key runner. SUMMER KOBIE (7) won again in quick time to make it two on the bounce, scoring at this track over 300m (16.58). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. In top form and looks a key chance again. MAXIMUM PENALTY (2) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths at Warrnambool in a handy 25.52 beating Major Jealous. Fair draw can see a good run and has the ability and in winning form. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Form should stack up. MAJOR ILLUSION (8) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Traralgon (25.11) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length sixth. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from seven starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.53) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2 length fifth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
