Warrnambool Race 5

Grv Vicbred Series Ht1

Prize Money: $2,925

LANKY LARRY (4) had been racing well with a Grade 4/5 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at Shepparton. Can turn form around here. SAINT TAY (1) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the money last time though when second (25.55) at this track. Has a good record at this journey. The form from his last run stacks up well. Bold showing expected. REMARLI (3) pinged the lids and was in the firing line early but drifted out of it when 6th at this track in Grade 5 company. Should be about the money. HIGHLY ABRASIVE (2) recorded a 0.7 lengths win (16.57) in a Free For All last time at Healesville. Loves this draw, having won three of five starts.

Eye-catching performance to score by a 0.7 lengths in a Free For All last start at Healesville, clocking an excellent 16.57 for the 300m trip. Has the ability and can measure up again.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 3 lengths at Shepparton. Form solid prior to that including a win at Shepparton three back. Shapes well here on best and gets chance to atone.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.3 lengths at The Meadows (30.30) beating Kid Luck in a Grade 5 on July 30. Looks tested in this company.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd on August 24 over 400m at Mt Gambier behind Ritza Wotton beaten 4.5 lengths (23.31) in a Grade 5. Can't recommend against this lot.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (22.62) in a Restricted WIN H, finishing a 4.5 lengths sixth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks a place chance at best.
