Traralgon Race 8 - Tequa
BAREFOOT ZULU (8) shapes well for this on his excellent win a few runs back, getting around Angle Park over 530m in 30.34 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Has the ability and looks hard to top. PAW WINDER (4) was a scintillating 29.71 winner of a Mix 6/7 FIN at The Meadows over 525m last start. In form and looks a leading player again. CLONCURRY GOLD (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (33.21) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. A big run wouldn't surprise. PAW FABIAN (6) has definite claims at his first try at this circuit.

Missed the frame latest (33.21) when fourth over 570m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has four successes and six minors from 19 starts from box 1. Makes strong appeal.

Missed the frame last start when a 4.5 lengths fifth (34.86) at Sandown. Previous form sound including a win three back at Warragul. Looks a danger to the top few if returns to best form this time.
