Warragul Race 12

Sportsbet Green Tick (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

SOMERTON WILLOW (7) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing sixth (20.11) at Healesville. Form here sound including three wins. Looks the one to beat on her best form. IMPRESS CARTER (8) was resuming when finishing fifth at Geelong in a Grade 5 (23.50). Sure to be fitter. Should be in this for a long way. DR. EVA (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (26.33) last time in a Grade 5 at Sale. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Likely to be about the mark. ASTON BENTLEY (6) is another with top-three prospects.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 6 lengths at Ballarat (22.51) beating Swanky Chic in a Grade 5 on October 12 five days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Last start finished fifth on October 8 over 460m at this track behind Kenzie Kid, beaten 4.5 lengths (26.90) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Would be better placed in something easier.

Missed the frame latest (20.11) when sixth over 350m at Healesville in a Grade 5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from four starts. Looks suited and should go close.
