Warragul Race 3

Stake: $1,836

ORANGE TWIST (6) hit the ground running from an outside draw with a fast early split, paving the way for a 4 length win at this track over 400m in 23.24. Can continue the winning form. TAKE A IRIS (8) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (20.94) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at Traralgon. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. RAA RAA KIARA (7) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 2.25 lengths third behind Dr. Aurora in 23.52. Expecting another bold showing. GOTHAM SORCERESS (1) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Has finished sixth at her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 400m. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 3 lengths at this track (23.85) beating Summer Crush in a Rank Limit - Maiden on July 23. Happy to risk this time.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, The latest effort was a 7 length sixth over 400m at this track. Prefer in something easier.

Just been plugging away and needs to improve after being unplaced in 10 tries. Last start 6th over 350m at Traralgon. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 400m at this track in 23.24, set up by a fast early sectional. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Last start finished 4th over 350m at Traralgon beaten 7 lengths (20.94) behind Aston Bentley in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win on August 10. More than capable and has to be included.
