Warrnambool Race 12

One More Race To Go Veterans (200+ Rank)

Prize Money: $2,925

SEATS TWO (8) showed good speed off a low draw but weakened and run over late when 5th over 410m at Horsham in Grade 5 company. Form here at the trip sound including nine wins. Looks the one to beat on her best form. SAINT RAINE (6) comes off an average run last start when seventh at this track over 390m behind Zipping Arvada (22.35) in a Grade 4/5. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. MR. KIA ORA (7) turned in a better effort at Geelong last start, finishing second behind Ziva Diva (22.81) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to be in this for a long way. IDYLLIC JAMES (3) has top-three aspirations after placing last time. Something for the Multiples: MR. KIA ORA (7)
