Warragul Race 4

Sportsbet Final (1-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,360

HI BIG BEN (4) missed the frame last time at Healesville but the start prior rocketed around 400m at this track in 22.62. Top win two back and rates a key player again. RING (2) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (22.63) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Ready to find winning form. RUNWAY BLUE (8) warrants respect following a recent placing in a fast run.

Narrowly beaten last time at this track when only a neck from the winner but did record a brilliant 22.63 for the 400m trip. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.
