BUSH JEWEL (7) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten a neck into second (22.60) at Warrnambool in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 390m. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Winning claims. SALTY SNOOP (3) can play a role in the finish without surprising along with SLINGER (2) who goes in the black and white stripes from two and a good getaway can see things pan out nicely.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (17.26) over 300m at Healesville. Aided by a low draw and capable of a better result.

Looks close to another win after her success on June 29 at Warrnambool over 390m. Last start was second over 390m in 22.60, behind Paw Lara. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
