Warragul Race 11

Sportsbet Supporters Of Having A Crack

Prize Money: $1,530

INDY GRANT (1) missed the frame last time when fourth (22.84) at Ballarat but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and two minor placings from eight starts. Should bounce back. IRISH CARLA (4) had been racing well with a Grade 5 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at Healesville. Expected to do much better this time. ZIPPING DARLA (2) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Healesville over 350m (19.76). Comes through a solid form race last start. In the mix. ZIPPING GIDEY (5) can find the frame without surprising.

Missed the frame latest (22.84) when fourth over 390m at Ballarat in a Grade 5. Strong record off the draw with four wins and two minors from eight starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fifth over 300m Healesville in 17.10. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.
