Warragul Race 9

Barn Bar Function Room

Stake: $3,696

CORINTHIAN (1) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 5.5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.46 beating Bo Rhapsody. Can measure up again. WASHINGTON BLUE (8) had the drop on the lead from the squeeze box before taking over turning, drawing clear to score (22.64) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. BANJO ONE STRING (3) got around 400m in a sharp 22.69 when winning a Grade 5 at this track last start. Should be in this for a long way. FLYING RYKER (2) is worth consideration after filling a hole at big odds last start.

Strong performance leading throughout to post a big 5.5 lengths victory in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, clocking a brilliant 22.46 for the 400m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (25.03) at Sale over 435m. Solid chance with even luck.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 400m at this track. Hard to tip with any confidence.
