Warragul Race 5

Sportsbet Ht4 (250+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

LADY PERSIMMON (3) is a last start placegetter in a Grade 5, jumping from this box and finishing half a length away in second over 300m at Healesville. Goes very well from this same draw winning two races. Looks the one to beat on best. NIGHT SHARID (6) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Ballarat over 390m behind Ascend Igloo (23.10) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. SOMERTON MICK (1) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth at Sale, but was among the placings at Sale three back. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. PAY THE REG (2) was unplaced here last start but gets her chance to atone.

Comments

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 1.3 lengths fourth (24.63) over 435m at Sale. Has an outstanding 22.59 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Last start finished last on January 15 over 460m at this track behind Miss Bella Babe beaten 6 lengths (26.85) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 300m at Healesville clocking 16.82. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 3, scoring two times. Go close.

Did a good job two starts back at Healesville to win by 2.25 lengths in 19.31, beating Flying Petrus. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on December 12 over 425m at Bendigo behind Paw Vancouver beaten 4.5 lengths (24.48). Would be better placed in something easier.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a fast 22.71 over 400m finishing third at this track. Looks the one to beat on run two back.
