Warragul Race 10

Sennachie At Stud

Prize Money: $2,925

VALENCIA JIM (8) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 2.5 lengths into second (22.92) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. One of the leading chances. BETTER BANJO (3) found some support last start but struggled into seventh (23.51), beaten 8 lengths. Finished third the start before. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Key runner on best form. PERSUASION (7) finished well back at this track last time when a 4 length sixth (26.73) but scored three back at this track (22.82). The form out of her last race has been franked. Leading chance. CRUISING THROUGH (1) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th in a Grade 5 on June 18 over 400m at this track behind Galloping Suzie beaten 8 lengths (23.51). Placed two back at Traralgon. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length sixth (26.73) over 460m at this track. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.
