Warrnambool Race 8

Wood Motorcycle And Mower

Stake: $3,629

MEPUNGA ROCKY (8) is a talented type who notched his 13th career success when too good (22.75) at Geelong last time. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Well placed and can measure up. HAPPY AND NUMB (1) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths (16.72) behind Augustus Finch at Healesville. Expected to be in the finish again. PAW PASADENA (3) goes very well this trip starting 12 times for five wins and six minors. Was out of placings last time (30.70) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths. Can hit the frame with the right run. BUN UNDERCURRENT (2) has a solid strike rate at this track and distance.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 5 at Healesville and recording an outstanding 19.27 over the 350m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times.

Missed the frame latest (26.02) when fifth over 450m at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from four starts. Others rate better this time.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Geelong over 400m in 22.75 last start, beating Tanner Bale. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.
