Warrnambool Race 5

Warrnambool Members Cup Ht2 (275+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

BUSH BUDDY (5) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at Ballarat. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. BASEMENT (7) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Shepparton over 450m (25.72). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. One of the better hopes. HOLYFIELD CHIC (6) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Finished second (22.55) at Ballarat last time making it two minors on end. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Overdue and expected to feature again. FLYING DAMIRO (2) cannot be left out after placing last start.

Strong performance to win by one length at Mt Gambier over 305m (18.02) beating Costly Habits in Maiden on April 19. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 3.5 lengths behind Paw Kenneth over 450m. Can't recommend against this lot.

Ordinary effort last start when he was slow out over 300m at Healesville. Prior to that won by half a length at Ballarat (22.26) beating Penny's Legacy in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on March 19. Should be right in the finish.

Missed the frame latest (25.72) when fourth over 450m at Shepparton in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at Healesville to win by 1.5 lengths in 17.34, beating Nera Bullet. Last start finished 7th over 390m at Shepparton beaten 5.5 lengths (22.73) behind Berringa Paddy in a Grade 5 on April 23. Is a danger.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
