Warragul Race 9

Sportsbet More Places (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,775

SMOOTH BEAUTY (3) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten half a length (23.14) behind Blues Train at Geelong. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Must come into calculations. MISS MY BROTHER (6) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fourth wasn't far away finishing 5 lengths from the winner (25.22). Deserves plenty of respect. GOTHAM THANOS (2) was a Bottom Up - Restricted Win winner two back then out of the placings latest at Ballarat but moves to Box 2 this time where he has performed well. Key player on best and worth another try. LITTLE THIEF (1) scored last time and can measure up again.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (23.14) at Geelong over 400m. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (17.20) over 300m at Healesville. Boxed awkwardly and will need the right run to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (25.22) in a Grade 6, finishing a 5 length fourth. Yet to score but has placed each of three runs from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (22.61) over 390m at Ballarat. Drawn out wide but is worth plenty of thought.
