Warragul Race 9

Prize Money: $3,360

BLESSED RAIN (4) has an excellent record here having never missed the placings in 10 starts, including nine wins. Recorded a 4 length win (21.73) in a Free For All last time at Shepparton. Makes strong appeal on best. BALLISTIC BLAZE (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 0.8 lengths (22.83) behind Why Not Iris at this track. The form out of last race has been strong. Expected to feature. BULL DURHAM (8) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.82 beating Kenzie Kid. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Leading chance again. DR. WILL (1) racing over this distance brings the best out in him.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 400m at this track clocking 22.83. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Strong performance leading throughout to score by 4 lengths in a Free For All last start at Shepparton, clocking a dazzling 21.73 over the 390m trip. In form and rates on top again.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (24.18) over 425m at Traralgon. Tends to run fairly well from the draw but looks safely held.

Strong performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at this track over 400m (22.82) beating Kenzie Kid in Grade 4/5 on May 12. This appears within his reach.
