Warrnambool Race 2

Macey's Bistro Veterans (200+Rank)

Stake: $3,188

XYLUS BALE (8) showed good early burn and was there until turning but swamped late to finish 6th at Horsham in a Grade 5. Has a good record here at this journey. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. SAVANNAH RIOT (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing eighth (25.72) in a Special conditions Veteran race at Shepparton. Form at the trip sound including eight wins. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Can measure up this time. MAXED OUT (4) was seventh in a Grade 4/5 two back then found trouble in the run and failed to finish at Sale last time. No luck latest and gets chance to atone. QUEBEC BALE (1) will give backers a sight.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 390m at this track. Hard to envisage a win.
