Warrnambool Race 8

Stan Lake Memorial

Prize Money: $10,875

CRACKERJACK RALF (2) missed the frame last time when fourth (23.24) at Horsham in a Grade 5 but not beaten far the start prior. Key player on best and worth another chance. KRAKEN WHISKY (3) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (25.74) from Box 1 at this track over 450m. Cannot be taken lightly. REPEAT THE SAME (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (25.35) last time out at this track. Ready to find winning form. MISCHIEF MATE (1) was a surprise last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning three on end before placing two back. Makes plenty of appeal on best and can easily atone here.
