Warragul Race 5

Grv Distance Racing

Prize Money: $3,940

LAKEVIEW IAN (8) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, 1.5 lengths from the winner Paw Maud (33.07) at Traralgon. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can find winning form. DERRY (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (42.45) last time in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Likely to play a prominent role. YOUNG RUFUS (5) is a last start winner and can go on with it.

Facing tougher opposition than he has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Not here on recent form.

Good performance to win by 1.75 lengths at Traralgon over 570m (33.50) beating Yorkshire Girl in Grade 5 on August 3. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (42.45) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length fifth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Jumps from box 8 for the first time after placing latest at Traralgon (33.07) in a Grade 4/5. Appeals as a leading chance in this.
