Warrnambool Race 6

Sportsbet Final (1-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,360

MELT MAX (4) lines up here off a comfortable win at this track after jumping from box 1 (25.43). Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Looks to have an edge on most of these. PAW LAPRAS (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (26.22) at Warragul behind Especial Kai in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Winning chance. CRY BABY GIBLET (5) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was a Grade 5 H winner two back at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. DREAM ON JUNIOR (2) missed the frame latest (25.53) when fourth over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. Has two wins already from this draw.

Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on September 29 over 460m at Warragul behind Especial Kai beaten 4.5 lengths (26.22). In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 390m in 21.99. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 450m at this track at Grade 5 level. Solid chance with even luck.

Goes well at this track and trip. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on September 24 over 400m at Warragul behind Western's Nasiah beaten 8 lengths (23.24). Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 450m. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 FIN on October 1 over 450m at this track behind Kopacki Rit beaten 1.5 lengths (25.62). Capable of a strong show.

Backs up after winning by one length at Geelong (22.69) beating Paw Jessabelle in a Grade 5 on October 2 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 4 length fourth (27.58) over 485m at Horsham. Has claims on best form.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
