Warrnambool Race 10

Sportsbet Final

Stake: $3,629

COOKIE MAN (6) is a super honest type rarely out of the placings, including wins at his last four on end, the latest at this track (21.88). Super consistent and looks a key player. DESIRED (8) is a handy type who notched her 4th career success when too good (21.95) from Box 2 at this track. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Leading chance again. ASTON ELENA (1) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind DESIRED (21.97) in a Grade 5 H. Led around the bend before fighting on well and should give a sight. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can feature again. RUBY'S SHOW (4) has been in the frame at her last two runs, most recently when second (22.19) in a Grade 5 H over 390m at this track.

In the money last time at this track (21.97) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a half a length second. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Bendigo over 425m in 24.27. Followed that up with a minor placing over 390m at this track at Grade 5 H a week ago. No easier here so may struggle.

Looks close to another win after her success on April 29 at Horsham over 410m. Last start was second over 390m in 22.19, behind Cookie Man. Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.
