Warragul Race 11

Gap (250+)

Stake: $1,775

ROMP TIN (2) struggled to get involved last start after losing her position early at this track, but prior to that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (22.80) beating Parumba Rumba in a Grade 5 on January 1. Ready to return to form. SPECIAL PLAYERS (3) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (23.27) at Geelong. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Must be included in calculations. RHINE STAR (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.75 lengths at this track in a handy 23.00 beating Blue Chaser. Expected to measure up again. PANAMA PARADE (8) placed last time at this track and distance - worth some thought.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at Warrnambool three back. Capable and may well bounce back this time.
