Warragul Race 5

Barn Bar Function Room

Stake: $1,652

JUICY GOSSIP (5) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (22.96) last time in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Form from her last run is proving strong. Should be very hard to beat this time. MICK SAYS SO (3) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 400m behind Mr. Persuader (23.54) in a Grade 5. Must be included in calculations. PAW TRINNY (4) took the sit on the lead from a low draw but levelled up and ran away to win (22.56) at Ballarat in Grade 5 over 390m. Bold showing expected again. BEST OF COLOUR (6) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Finished third (19.56) at Healesville last time at big odds, making it four placings in a row. Draws the cherry this time. Looking to others.

Solid performance to win by 3 lengths at Geelong over 400m (23.20) beating Eat Less Junk in Grade 6 on June 3. Can't make much of a case this time.

Last start finished 6th on June 3 over 400m at this track behind Mr. Persuader beaten 11 lengths (23.54) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.62) in a Grade 5, finishing a 12 length seventh. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from six starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 350m Healesville in 19.71. Can't recommend against this lot.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
