BABY GIRL PEARL (3) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at Warrnambool in a handy 25.33 beating Come On Larry. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. The one to beat again. DR. WARREN (5) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his dynamic win the start prior, getting around Sale over 510m in 28.61. Must include on winning run two back. PAW NIMBUS (8) hit the ground running to lead and kept going to score by 0.8 lengths (25.38) at Warrnambool in Mix 6/7 FIN. Yet to fire here from two runs. Has definite claims. BELAIR LAUREL (1) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Drawn the inside alley. Most recently finished last on April 5 over 512m at Mt Gambier behind Compton Gypsy beaten 13 lengths (30.44) in a Grade 4/5. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Strong performance to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at Sale, clocking a slick 24.41 over the 435m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (35.40) in a Grade 5, finishing a 15 length seventh. Has two successes and two minors from seven starts from box 4. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 460m at Warragul. Prior to that won by 2.25 lengths at Sale (28.61) beating Elijah Rose in a Restricted WIN on March 29. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Comments

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 0.8 lengths over 450m at Warrnambool (25.38). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
