Traralgon Race 11 - Gold 1242
BUFFALO COWBOY (2) hit the ground running to win over the 390m at Warrnambool two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing third at Warrnambool last start. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Must come into calculations. ZIPPING DARLA (1) was crowded for room and fell here last time. No luck latest and can bounce back. DAINTREE DAMAGE (7) stuck on well last time to finish a neck back in second (20.25) at this track in a Grade 5 over 350m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Must be included in calculations. PAW KRAMER (8) placed last time out as public elect - worth considering.

Failed to finish the race over 425m at this track on April 22. Well drawn; yet to win but has been in the money seven times from 11 starts off this box. Right in the mix.

Hit the frame latest (22.59) when third at Warrnambool in a SE. Has three successes and two minors from 10 starts from box 2. Makes strong appeal.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 400m at Warragul in a handy (23.07), beating Empty Your Mind. Will find this a bit tougher, be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Taree Super Track over 300m in 17.37. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 300m at Healesville at Grade 5 level. Others read better.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.41) at Shepparton over 390m. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.
