Warragul Race 2

Paua Of Buddy At Stud (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

FLEX FACTOR (1) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. In the money last time at this track (26.41) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win, finishing a 1.3 lengths third. Looks the one to beat with even luck. WHATEVER THRILL (7) caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 400m in 23.14. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. MANILA PLUTO (8) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (27.46) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Sandown. Well placed here and can atone this time. HOT HONEY (3) collected a minor prize last start and must be considered.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (26.41) at this track in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Lines up from box 1 for the first time. Makes strong appeal.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 400m at this track. Hard to entertain this time.

Hit the frame latest (25.11) when third at Sale in a T3 RSTW. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (30.24) over 515m at Sandown. Boxed out wide but is worth plenty of thought.
