Warragul Race 6

Bar Barn Function Room (250+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

ELUSIVE BARB (4) hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 5 lengths (22.61) over 400m at this track. In great form and can continue his winning ways. ARKA SOLAR (1) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (24.41) at Bendigo. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. MICK SAYS SO (8) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (24.75) at Sale last time. Has a good record here at this journey. Likely to be about the mark. ASTON IMAGE (2) racing over this distance brings the best out in him.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on January 31 over 425m at Bendigo behind Extradited beaten 4.5 lengths (24.41). More than capable and has to be included.

Missed the frame latest (24.99) when seventh over 435m at Sale in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Lines up chasing three wins on end after scoring over 400m at this track in 22.61 last time, set up by a fast early sectional. In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (28.92) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length seventh. Has three placings from five starts from the draw. Will need the right run.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (26.05) over 450m at Shepparton. Boxed out wide and will need a little luck to feature.
