Traralgon Race 7 - Grv Vicbred Series Ht2

MATCHBOX CYCLONE (2) could manage only seventh at Warragul last time but caught the eye when posting a superb 24.30 over 435m at Sale three starts back. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. DIRTY APOLLO (5) flew the lids with a slick early split last time and went on to clock 22.28 as a strongly fancied winner over 390m at Shepparton. Should be in this for a long way. FURIOUS FALCON (7) jumped from this box last time and placed in a Grade 4/5 at this track over 425m, finishing third (24.22). Has a very consistent record off this same box, including two wins and three placings from six starts. Harder here but expected to feature again. ASTON JOPLIN (1) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warragul over 460m in 26.11. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 515m at Sandown at Grade 5 level. Not suited by wide draw, can't enthuse on this occasion.
