Warragul Race 9

Oaks Super Box

Stake: $3,159

BRUNO CHOCOLATE (2) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fifth (24.68) at Bendigo in a Grade 7. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. FIELD OF ANGELS (6) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 6 length third (22.95) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Winning chance. ASTON PASTIZZI (5) has been without a win for a while, the latest jumping from an outside draw when fourth (23.66) at this track in a Grade 7. Can do much better this time. RUMOUR WHY PETER (7) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to atone.

Finished seventh (25.84) last start at Sale. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Aided by the inside draw but will need to find best.

Missed the frame latest (24.68) when fifth over 425m at Bendigo in a Grade 7. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (23.27) at this track over 400m. Thereabouts last time others preferred this line-up.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by one length at Warrnambool (22.45) beating Elliot Nova in a Maiden on June 4. Happy to risk this time.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 6 length third over 400m at this track, clocking 22.95. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (23.10) at big odds over 400m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and prefer each-way.

Has finished fifth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 1.3 lengths behind Sarsaparilla Kid over 400m. Looks a solid contender.
