Traralgon Race 3 - Royal Exchange Hotel

NEEDFUL (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (25.96) in a Free For All at Shepparton. Strike rate this distance strong having won three of six tries. Has winning claims on his best figures. DR. LOUIS (4) stalked the lead from a low draw then burst clear to score (20.24) at this track in a Grade 5 over 350m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Leading chance again. ELLA'S DREAM (7) is a consistent runner who is lining up for her first start here. Quickly into stride and led throughout to score by 7 lengths last time over 400m at Warragul (23.05). Comes through a solid form race last start. Bold showing expected again. HIJACK (5) was below best last time at this track (20.51) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length fourth. Has four wins already from this draw.

Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (17.23) in a Special conditions race, finishing a 7 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Will need the right run.
