Umpires Are Running

Prize Money: $8,785

NARINGAL LAD (6) looks overdue for a win having finished in the minors at his last four runs, the latest when second (26.17) at Geelong. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Super consistent and looks a key player. WEBLEC MEMPHIS (7) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at this track over 515m behind Lindenow Buster (29.91) in a Mix 3/4. Has ability and can measure up. PAW GORDY (2) hit the ground running off the low draw last start and was never headed (30.12) at The Meadows in a Grade 5 over 525m. Form should stack up. PAW VORTEX (5) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length fifth (29.87) over 515m at this track. Well placed and among the chances here.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 525m at The Meadows by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (29.65) over 515m at this track. Has a low draw and can measure up.

In the money last time at this track (29.77) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths second. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Looks a place chance at best.

Has finished seventh at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 10 lengths behind Lindenow Buster over 515m. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.

Comments

Eye-catching performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Ballarat, clocking a fast 25.28 over the 450m trip. In form and must include in calculations at odds.
