Warrnambool Race 11

Stake: $3,159

FEROCIOUS QUEEN (6) skirted wide from an outside draw and found the front, leading until late when second (22.75) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 400m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Deserves serious consideration. RABADA (8) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (22.51) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Bold showing expected. BOURBON BULLET (3) slotted in just off the lead from the wide box before lifting strongly to score (22.66) at Geelong in Grade 5 over 400m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Has definite claims. TRUTH TELLER (2) comes under notice as a past winner at this course and distance.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by 0.8 lengths in 22.35, beating Bingo Dash. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on June 7 over 400m at Geelong behind Talk Is Cheap beaten 9 lengths (23.12). Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Strong performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 1.2 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Geelong, recording a decent 22.66 over the 400m journey. Top win and looms as a strong winning chance.

Backs up after finishing 7th on June 6 over 400m at Geelong in a Grade 4/5. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 400m at Geelong clocking 22.75. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.51) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from eight starts. Looks a leading chance.
