Traralgon Race 3

Royal Exchange Hotel

Stake: $3,568

ELLA'S DREAM (7) Gave them all something to chase to win last time at Warragul in 23.05s over 400m. Has plenty of claims. DR. LOUIS (4) Finished well when winning last run at this venue in 20.24s over 350m. On a winning streak the last 2 attempts. Should go close. HIJACK (5) Finished 4th last start around here. Capable of bouncing back. Can take this out. PAW AMARAN (8) On a short turnaround. Looked good when 3rd last start at Geelong and has a good draw. Could give some each way value.

Started $14.00 and only fair when 6th last start at Shepparton but gets a favourable draw. Has a great burst of speed late. Value selection.

Started at $12.00 and faded away to finish 6th last run at Healesville. Likely to be well placed early. Watch the betting.
