Warragul Race 3

G'day Chef Caterers

Stake: $1,698

LOCKED AND READY (1) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish third (22.74) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 over 390m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. MIDNIGHT SHIMMER (8) had the drop on the lead early on but could only manage second, beaten 3 lengths (23.40) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Overdue and is among the main hopes. SMOOTH TIGER (6) led all the way last time out to score by 2.25 lengths (22.72) at Ballarat in a T3 Grade 6 over 390m. Capable of going well again. JESSICA PEARSON (4) is back from a break and worth including.
