Warrnambool Race 5

Wannon Function Centre

Prize Money: $2,925

MIDDLE EARTH (3) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a Mix 6/7 winner (25.54) three back at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. BINDY BLAZER (4) was chasing the leaders from the rails before lifting to score (25.66) at this track in Maiden over 450m. Bold showing expected again. SLOW POKE (1) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Sandown over 515m behind Make Me King (30.42) in a Grade 7. Has ability and can measure up. PRINCETOWN FLYER (2) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot most recently.

Did a good job two starts back at Warragul to win by 7 lengths in 25.85, beating Little Chatter. Last start finished last over 460m at Geelong beaten 9 lengths (26.57) behind Reiko Daiquiri in a Mix 6/7 on January 17. Ignore last start. Has ability and can feature in the finish.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won comfortably by 4 lengths at this track (25.91) beating Blue Benz in a Maiden on January 7. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
