Traralgon Race 8 - Gippsland Motor Group
BAREFOOT ZULU (4) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (30.36) at Angle Park. Form at this distance is sound. Has a solid record from this box including four wins and a minor placing. Deserves serious consideration. REAPER (2) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 510m at Sale, taking a Grade 4/5 in a superb 28.46. Top win two back and rates a key player again. MY NAME'S EVELYN (3) is worth forgiving for her last effort when sixth (34.89) at Sandown over 595m. The form from her last run stacks up well. Key player if finds best. BANDIT BARBIE (7) is new to this course but is worth considering.

Hit the frame last time at Angle Park but the start prior was an impressive winner after tracking the speed, scoring by 2 lengths in a OPEN at Angle Park and recording a head turning 30.34 over the 530m journey. Looks the one to beat on win two back.
