Warrnambool Race 4

Grv Distance Racing (0-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,940

LADY NESS (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (24.62) last time in a Grade 7 at Bendigo. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. REGAL SPENCER (8) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when second (28.26) at Bendigo. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Can feature again. MISS SINCLAIR (2) was below best last time when fifth at Ballarat but prior to that among the placings in quick time (38.67) at Bendigo. Key player on best and worth another try. ASTON TRUST (4) can find the frame without surprising.

Good effort last time when third (28.46) over 500m at Bendigo. Has the inside draw this time. Will need plenty of luck.

Missed the frame last start when a 11 length fifth (38.52) at Ballarat. Previous form sound including a win three back at Ballarat. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (34.82) over 595m at Sandown. Awkwardly drawn but in the mix on his best form.

Comments

Last start finished 4th in a Grade 7 on March 6 over 425m at Bendigo behind Biscottino beaten 10 lengths (24.62). Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 28.26 over 500m at Bendigo. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.
