Warrnambool Race 8

Broad Tree Care

Stake: $3,629

MISCHIEF MATE (3) was unfavoured last start but led all the way to score by 0.7 lengths (25.36) at this track in a Grade 5 over 450m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be right there at the finish again. MORAINE ARIANA (1) missed the frame last time at Geelong but the start prior rocketed around 450m at this track in 25.36. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. TAKE THE STEPS (8) was unfancied latest when jumping from this same draw but belied the odds to place (25.45) over 450m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Must include in calculations. PAW LAUREN (4) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Won two starts back over 450m at this track. Last start she finished 4th on May 22 over 460m at Geelong behind My Amber beaten 5 lengths (26.28) in a Grade 5. Draw likely to suit. Looks a strong winning hope.

Missed the frame latest (25.53) when fifth over 450m at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minors. Suited here and expected to run well.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (25.54) at this track over 450m. Leading chance on best form.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow sixth (26.20) over 460m at Geelong. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 5.5 lengths victory in a Grade 4/5 last start at Geelong, recording a sharp 25.81 over the 460m journey. Harder here but worth including in multiples.
