Traralgon Race 4

Sportsbet Ht2 (1-4 Wins)

Stake: $3,568

MINTER POWER (7) turned in a better effort at Sale last start, finishing third behind Paw Irulan (24.87) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to feature in the finish again. CHARLIE'S ROSE (4) was never in contention last time at Warragul, but prior to that won by a neck at Warragul (22.80) beating Extremity in a Grade 7 on February 13. The form out of her last race has been franked. Should be in this for a long way. PLATOON (1) is progressing well claiming his 2nd career win latest, scoring by 2.75 lengths (17.49) at Mt Gambier. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Can measure up again. ABSOLUTE RUPEE (2) missed the frame latest (31.18) when sixth over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Has already won two times from this draw.

Hit the ground running and set it up early last time, clocking 17.49 with a 2.75 lengths win at Mt Gambier over 305m and making it back to back wins. Recorded the quickest time on the card last time. Can measure up again.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at The Meadows, the latest when beaten 5 lengths behind Rev Ian over 525m. Below his best last time but looks well placed here. Worth another chance.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by a neck at Sale (25.17) beating Rio Bon Bon in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 on July 8. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. Last start finished sixth over 515m at Sandown, beaten 8 lengths. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
