Warrnambool Race 4

Tab Mdn Plate

Stake: $41,625

BRILLIANT EIGHT (1) is a 14 start maiden, formerly racing in Hong Kong, who resumed off a long spell at Bendigo in a stronger race, showing early speed before fading late to finish sixth. Not a bad pipe opener and doesn't have a whole lot to beat here. LUDO (4) is a 47 start maiden with six placings to his name. His recent form hasn't been that bad and he draws softly. Today could be the day. EXCELAOT (2) has far less convictions than a few of these, lining up for his seventh start. Last two runs at Kingscote have been okay, albeit in fairly weak company. In the mix. NIGHTYNIGHT (8) is a six-year-old mare on debut. Watch the market. CHAMPAGNE DOCTOR (6) hasn't shown much in three runs to date but may be an improver.

Second run back. First-up after about 18 months led to the turn then faded 6th of 9 at Bendigo 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1000m, 4 len behind Sistine Tunnel carrying 59.5kg at $10. Previously second-up 9th of 11 at Happy Valley Rating 40 on October 4 2023 over 1650m, 7 len behind Viva A La carrying 52.5kg at $54. Plenty of improvement to come.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Kingscote Bm58 on February 22 over 1050m, 1.5 len behind Babayka with 54kg at $21. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Kingscote 3yo+ Mdn Hcp on February 20 over 1050m, 2.25 len behind Footprints with 59kg at $5.50. Terrific chance to return to form.

At the latest run settled back and ran on when 5th of 9 at Penola 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Hotch Potch with 58kg at $3.70. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 16 over 1430m, 3.5 len behind Pacific Jewel carrying 58kg at $6. Going well and should be prominent again.

Third-up today. First-up raced on the pace before fading ran last of 11 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1000m, 9 len behind Rocket Boosters with 57.5kg at $8.50. Second run from a spell didn't do much in the run home; 11th of 13 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on February 15 over 1000m, 12 len behind Jugiong with 57.5kg at $101. Fitter for recent racing and is one of the contenders.

Last start raced on the pace before fading 10th of 13 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on February 16 over 1300m, 8 len behind Chica Con Suerte carrying 57.5kg at $81. The race before that failed to make an impression; 9th of 11 at Mt Gambier 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 2 over 1300m, 12 len behind Walloper carrying 56kg at $26. Likely to find them too smart.

Second run back. First-up after five months second last of 12 at Terang Mdn-Sw on February 28 over 1200m, 9 len behind Barbie'sdreamworld with 57.5kg at $112. Previously second-up 8th of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on September 23 over 1200m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Courageous Lass with 58kg at $81. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Expected Settling Position: Backmarker
