Warragul Race 12

Sportsbet Same Race Multi (250+ Rank)

Stake: $1,683

ASTUTE QUEEN (1) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish a long neck away in second (22.41) behind Hartland Prince at Ballarat. Makes plenty of appeal. PETITE BEAST (6) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing eighth (29.97) in a Grade 5 at Sale. Cannot be underestimated. ROMAN EMPIRE (2) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, a neck from the winner Jack's Elation (22.97) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. BEST DRESSED (7) must be included in calculations.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a neck second over 400m this track in 22.97. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Was out of placings last time (24.83) at Sale in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 1.1 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 435m at Sale. Likely to find this a bit tough.
