Traralgon Race 1 - Sinclair Contracting (300+Rank)
HILLTOP HOOD (8) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 350m behind Longinidis (21.09) in a Maiden. Should be very hard to beat this time. POLLY GOLD (3) was below best at her last start when 8th at Warrnambool following a third place finish (22.88) at Shepparton two back. One of the main contenders. TAKE A RHINO (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Mr. Bojangles (22.82) in a Maiden. Was in the money prior to that. Expected to feature in the finish. BOOF'S JAKIT (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Has ability but remains a maiden after 14 starts, the most recent effort a fifth (22.82) over 390m at Shepparton. Was on pace and game in defeat. Capable of getting off the mark.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 350m at this track. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, The latest effort was a 20 length eighth over 390m at Shepparton. Prepared to risk this time.
