Warragul Race 8

Paua Of Buddy At Stud (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

AXEL'S RADAR (2) finds it hard to break through. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (28.50) at Bendigo. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. One of the leading chances. ZAWADI (1) was quickly into stride and raced on speed before drawing clear to a land a half a length win (24.50) at Bendigo in Bottom Up - Grade 5. Failed to fire only run here. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. SWEET TRILBY (6) pinged the lids and led throughout to score last start (28.93) at Sale in Rank Limit - Grade 5 over 510m. Capable of going well again. PROBLEM SOLVER (7) has not raced here but still warrants respect.

Well supported here last start but let backers down, finishing finished last on October 8 over 460m at this track behind Kenzie Kid beaten 3.5 lengths (26.85) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Placed two back at Healesville. Ignore last start. Has ability and can feature in the finish.

Good effort last time when second (23.47) over 400m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Looks to have the job ahead.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (29.54) at big odds over 510m at Sale. Awkwardly drawn but is in the mix.
