THREE VOTES NICK (3) jumped cleanly from the low draw last start to lead all the way (22.61) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5 over 390m. Well placed and will be tough to beat. AUNTY CHERYL (8) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (24.59) at Bendigo. Has a good record here at this journey. Worth another chance.

Key player if finds best. DESTINI LORENZO (1) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Missed the frame latest (26.29) when sixth over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 350m at Traralgon. That followed a win two back in 22.66 beating Swanky Chic over 390m at this track. This looks too tough.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (26.25) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length sixth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from eight starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 350m at Traralgon in a handy (20.58), beating Distorted Humour. Has ability and among the chances.

Comments

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (24.59) at Bendigo over 425m. Forward showing expected.
