Warrnambool Race 12

One More Race To Go

Prize Money: $2,925

ASTON FUMIKO (1) finished third (24.32) two back at Bendigo but out of the placings last time when 8th at Geelong. Is yet to taste defeat at this course and distance. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. SPRING BRUMBY (8) comes off an average run last start when fifth at Ballarat over 390m behind Pyrenees Pizazz (22.49) in a Grade 5. Scored at his previous run. Should be in this for a long way. JILL'S FANTASY (4) was below best at her last start when 7th at this track following a second place finish (25.68) there two back. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. ASTON BLEND (2) did a good job to finish second last time out over 400m at Mt Gambier (23.72) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 H on February 27 over 400m at Geelong behind Lissy's A Demon beaten 13 lengths (23.18). Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Was out of placings last time (26.64) at this track in a SE, finishing seventh and beaten 12 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks a key chance on best form.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 390m at this track beaten 2.25 lengths (22.39) behind Lektra Bills in a Grade 5 on February 26. Deserves a win and is expected to run well again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at this track. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Missed the frame last start when a 5 length seventh (24.77) at Bendigo. Previous form sound including a win three back at Shepparton. Has ability but this tough and will need some luck to feature.
