Warrnambool Race 7

Grv Distance Racing

Prize Money: $3,940

ANNABELLA ROSE (6) finished well back at Sandown last time when a 15 length sixth (43.81) but recorded best time of the card when winning three back. Scored previously at this trip. Rates on top in this line up. ZIPPING GRANDE (7) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when second (43.02) at The Meadows. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Leading chance. IRON ATLAS (2) continues to race well, filling the minors at the last six starts, the latest at The Meadows in 34.87. Expected to feature on best form. MISS MARY JO (8) is a last start winner who rates one of the chances again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 715m at Sandown. Not among the main chances this time.

Racing consistently with six top-three finishes in a row. Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 4/5 on January 11 over 600m at The Meadows behind Set To Sizzle beaten one length (34.87). Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 15 lengths at Sandown. Form solid prior to that including a win at Shepparton three back. Suited here and expected to bounce back.

Hit the frame latest (43.02) when second at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Good effort to win last start by 6 lengths over 600m at The Meadows in a handy (34.56), beating Zipping Cardi. In form and is right in the mix again.
