Warragul Race 5

Paua Of Buddy At Stud

Prize Money: $1,530

ASTON PRESTON (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 400m behind Ancona (23.41) in a Grade 5. Scored at his previous run. Looks the one to beat on his best form. TILLY GIRL (5) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 5th (25.31) at Sale. Can do much better this time. WARRIOR PAGE (2) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at Sale over 435m behind Vienna On Show (25.25) in a Grade 5. Can figure in the finish. TARGET RANGE (3) is worth consideration.
