Warrnambool Race 11

Wannon Park Bingo - Thursdays

Prize Money: $2,925

IS HE HAPPY (1) flew the lids and led throughout to score last time at big odds, winning by 2.25 lengths at Horsham over 410m (23.43). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can continue on his winning ways. MATTY BOY (7) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing second (22.42) at Ballarat over 390m. Will give a great sight again. ERIC QUIRK (2) had been racing well prior to his last start eighth at this track following a Other win three back with a third placing. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. BUSH MAYHEM (4) was well supported last time but could only manage third (23.59), beaten 2.5 lengths. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Horsham over 410m in 23.43 last start, beating Baby Girl Pearl. Likes the rails so looks the one to beat again.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Could pose a serious challenge if finds best this time.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 390m at this track. That followed a win two back in 23.22 beating Aston Azul over 400m at Mt Gambier. Prepared to overlook.

Hit the frame again last time when third (23.59) at Horsham, making it three minor placings in a row. Squeeze draw to overcome. Must be included.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 3 length second over 390m Ballarat in 22.42. Has run slick time here with a 22.22 PB at the distance. Go close.

Comments

Missed the frame latest (23.44) when fifth over 410m at Horsham in a Mix 3/4. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and seven minors. Can feature with the right run.
