Warragul Race 10

Sportsbet Blackbook (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

CLASSIC HOUDINI (2) ran below best last time finishing seventh (20.12) over 350m at Healesville in a T3 RSTW. Can make amends. ESSENDON GIRL (1) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at Warrnambool over 390m behind Average Return (23.22) in a Bottom Up - Grade 7. Was in the money prior to that. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. KALE ROCKS (5) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (23.23) at this track behind It's Friday in a T3 RSTW. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form from his last run stacks up well. Can measure up. MEMPHIS MACK (6) will be hard to beat with a drop in journey.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 6th over 390m at Warrnambool beaten 11 lengths (23.22) behind Average Return in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 on March 9. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Latest effort finished 7th in a T3 RSTW on March 13 over 350m at Healesville behind Pop's Boy beaten 6 lengths (20.12). Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.
