Warragul Race 12

Sportsbet Ht11 (250+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

COUNTY KILDARE (1) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 5 length third (22.68) over 390m at Shepparton. Winning claims. KIMIKO (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (22.86) in a Special conditions Veteran race at Ballarat. Worth another chance. TERRORISING TOM (8) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (25.10) at Sale. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Can measure up this time. TOP KADE (3) will give backers a sight.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 5 length third over 390m at Shepparton, clocking 22.68. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Latest effort finished last over 390m at Ballarat beaten 14 lengths (22.86) behind Gunai Wizard in a Special conditions Veteran race on January 23. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (24.83) over 435m at Sale. Aided by a low draw and can measure up.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 390m in 22.25. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 410m at Horsham at Free For All level. Happy to risk this time.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2.75 lengths second at Ballarat but did record a convincing 22.07 over the 390m journey. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 10 lengths at Sale. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Has ability and looks one of the hopes in this.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (25.10) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length fourth. Has three successes and six minors from 10 starts from box 8. Looks a key chance on best form.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
