Warrnambool Race 6

Grv Vicbred Series Ht2

Prize Money: $2,925

SPENCER (6) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his strong 24.48 win at Sale over 435m. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back. BURN ALONG (1) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fifth (19.34) at Healesville over 350m. Has a good record at this journey. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from six attempts. Worth another chance. HIGHLY ABRASIVE (3) is an honest type who is having his first try here. Strong winner last time by 4 lengths at Healesville in Grade 4/5 in one of the quickest times on the program (16.29). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Hard to fault the current string of winning form and can continue his winning ways. STAPLETON (7) is a surprise last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (19.34) in a Free For All, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting four places from six starts. Key chance and should go close.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd on January 29 over 525m at The Meadows behind Perfect Ace beaten 7 lengths (30.84) in a Grade 5. Can't recommend against this lot.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (25.54) over 450m at Ballarat. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Comments

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 19 lengths at Sandown. Form solid prior to that including a win at Sandown three back. Has ability but this tough and will need some luck to feature.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
