Warragul Race 4

Oaks Super Box (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

BIT OF ROMANCE (4) was well back throughout but attacked the line to hit the frame when a 6 length third (26.93) at this track in Grade 5. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Winning claims. NIMBOSTRATUS (6) last start finished 6th on May 30 over 350m at Healesville behind Blame Esmeralda beaten 4 lengths (19.96) in a Grade 5. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. INTEX BALE (1) was unplaced here last start but gets her chance to atone. Something for the Multiples: PAW QUAIL (7)

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished last in a Grade 5 on May 22 over 400m at this track behind Tessa Orchid beaten 10 lengths (23.87). Looking to others this time.
