Traralgon Race 5 - Monacellars
DR. HOPPER (1) stalked the lead from the inside draw then took over turning and burst clear to score (24.71) at Sale in a Grade 5 over 435m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Expected to measure up again. ASTON FAME (2) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, 1.75 lengths from the winner Diesel Dynasty (22.71) at Geelong. Expected to feature. YOUNG RUFUS (7) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at The Meadows over 600m behind Cobble Hill (35.21) in a Restricted WIN H. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and can measure up. DR. XANTHIC (8) is in form and must include among the chances.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (22.71) at Geelong over 400m. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.
