Warragul Race 6

G'day Chef Caterers

Stake: $3,629

LIGHTNING JEWEL (3) is a well performed dog and winner of 24 races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at this track (22.98). Form here at this distance is sound. Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and a minor placing from six starts. Looks the one to beat on her best form. JUNIOR PISTOL (4) hit the ground running from a squeeze draw and prominent early but run ended and faded to finish 8th at this track in Grade 4/5 company. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Form from his last run is proving strong. Key runner on best form. PLAY LAB (2) is sure to play a big role again after a run of minor placings.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 390m at Shepparton beaten 4 lengths (22.19) behind Aston Guitar in a Grade 5 on June 9. Overdue a win and gets his chance to break through.

Has finished last in his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 400m. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 23.20. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 400m at this track at Free For All level. Not suited by wide draw, hard to tip with any confidence.
