Warragul Race 9

Barn Function Area

Stake: $4,032

PAW ESTRELLA (2) Handy enough when winning last run at Warrnambool. Has plenty of early speed. Going well this preparation. Goes very close. HARD STYLE LEON (3) Tidy run when 2nd last run at Shepparton and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Likely to be well placed early. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. HARD TO ROCK (1) Left nothing to chance when winning last run at Traralgon and can save some energy from the trap. Made it 2 wins in a row. Has to be strongly considered. FAST CAR (7) Came in 4th last time at Traralgon. Happy to overlook that run. Showing positive results this campaign. Will be around the mark at odds.

Nice effort when winning last run at Traralgon and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Unbeaten last 2 runs. Shows good early pace. Has strong claims.

At $2.80 subpar when 5th last start at Healesville but will try to take advantage of the draw. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.
