Warragul Race 6

Liberty Service Station Traralgon

Prize Money: $2,925

DESPICABLE ANDY (3) 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 half a length second (25.77) over 460m at this track. One of the leading chances. SCOUT ACE (6) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 4.5 lengths second behind I'm Fabulous in 26.00. Expected to feature again. DARNUM DUKE (8) turned in a modest effort most recently when fifth at The Meadows over 730m behind King Of Snake (44.55) in a Restricted WIN. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Cannot be left out. ONE FOR BILL (2) is a chance after winning last time.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 595m at Sandown. Hard to envisage a win.

Good effort to win last start by 3 lengths over 450m at Ballarat in a handy (25.53), beating Fred The Fox. In winning form and can measure up again.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 510m at Sale in a handy (29.10), beating Ultimate Lexi. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to entertain this time.

Last start finished 2nd over 460m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (26.00) behind I'm Fabulous in a Grade 5 on February 6. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.
