Warragul Race 11

We Stand With Tasmania

Prize Money: $2,925

HARD TO ROCK (7) filled the minor money three on end before breaking through for a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 400m (22.58). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Form reads well for this. LIGHTNING RANGE (8) hit the frame latest (22.12) when second at Shepparton in a Free For All. Has three wins already from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. PAW XANTHIE (1) was unfavoured last start but led all the way to score by one length (22.15) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5 over 390m. Form should stack up. BULL DURHAM (2) is not to be discarded.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (22.71) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 400m at Geelong in a handy (22.65), beating Star Fury. Can go well again with the right run.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 400m at this track in 22.58, set up by a fast early sectional. Was in the money three on end before breaking through last start. Stick with him.

Comments

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner scoring by a neck in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool and recording a decent 22.17 over the 390m journey. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
