Traralgon Race 5 - Gippsland Motor Group
NIGHT SHARID (6) has been in sparkling form recording back to back wins, the latest at Geelong last time over 400m in (22.72). Hard to fault his recent form and can win again. WITCH OF NOVA (7) showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 450m Ballarat in 25.75. Deserves plenty of respect. STORM COMING (3) struggled for best form latest, finishing 6th (30.61) in a Special conditions H at Sandown. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won three of four tries. In the mix. ZIPPING UNA (8) drops in journey and should be in the mix.

Was out of placings last time (25.21) at Sale in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (19.54) over 350m at Healesville. Has a low draw but will need the breaks to go his way.

Won again in another strong performance after running them ragged to make it two on the trot at Geelong over 400m (22.72). With even luck looks hard to beat again.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 2.5 lengths fourth (25.75) over 450m at Ballarat. Has the ability to take this out.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recently finished last over 515m at Sandown beaten 7 lengths (30.32) behind Repeat The Same in a Grade 4/5 on August 17. Leading chance on best form.
