Warragul Race 3

Simon Benson Memorial Ht1

Prize Money: $2,925

ASTON ELENI (6) boasts a consistent overall record including five wins from 15 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (29.08) over 510m at Sale. Goes very well here finding the frame in each of six starts. Looks well placed here and should prove hard to beat again. DARNUM TRAIN (1) is a progressive type who recorded his 3rd career win last time out (24.85) at Sale. Form here at this distance is sound. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Leading player again. AMRON MICK (4) is worth forgiving last start after finishing eighth (24.97) from Box 1 at Sale over 435m. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. COUNTY KILDARE (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Leading chance on best form.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sale over 435m. Last start finished last over 435m at Sale beaten 5.5 lengths (24.97) behind July She Lied in a Grade 5 FIN on September 14. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.

Good effort to win last start by 4.5 lengths over 435m at Sale in a handy (24.35), beating Canya Explode. Will find this a bit tougher, prefer in something easier.
