Warragul Race 9

We Stand With Tasmania

Prize Money: $3,360

CRACKERJACK TREV (3) lines up chasing another win after scorching around Horsham over 410m in 23.16 on November 18. In form and can measure up again. ONE LAST BEER (5) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, but could manage only the minor money when a 5.5 lengths second at Bendigo over 425m in 23.92. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Winning chance. ESPECIAL KAI (2) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and three minors. In the money last time at this track (22.94) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length second. Looks a key chance on best figures. BLUE LABUBU (6) could manage only second last time but ran a dynamic time (22.09). Worth including.

Hit the ground running with a scorching early sectional but found one better when runner up over 425m at Bendigo clocking 23.92. Should prove hard to beat.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 3.5 lengths second (22.09) over 390m at Shepparton. Has run blistering time here with a 22.52 PB at the distance. Must include if she recaptures that form.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (22.61) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Others appear better placed.
