Warrnambool Race 3

Sportsbet Ht2

Stake: $2,941

MAGIC BOCCA (6) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (25.57) at this track over 450m. Can go on with it. JUNO USKO (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (25.79) at Ballarat behind My Long Black in a Maiden. Has the pace to be prominent. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Expected to be in this for a long way. LADY TSUNADE (2) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when second (30.67) in a Maiden FIN over 525m at The Meadows. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. ONYX LASS (3) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Is a 10 start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (30.67) over 525m at The Meadows. Looks well placed here.

Returns from a four-and-a-half months spell after being tipped out on the back of a minor placing (25.61) over 450m at Ballarat. Yet to win but has placed from two first-up runs. Others appear better placed.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing third (26.12) at Geelong. Drawn awkwardly. Looking to others.
