Warrnambool Race 12

One More Race To Go

Stake: $3,159

UPTOWN SALLY (6) hit the ground running from an outside draw with a fast early split, holding on for a minor placing when second and beaten 0.8 lengths at Ballarat over 390m in 22.47. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Sure to be about the mark. SAINT CASSIDY (8) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Finished second (22.87) at this track last time making it two minors on end. Hard to beat again. INTUITIVE (3) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at this track following on from a third place finish (22.70) there the start prior. Has a good record here at this journey. One of the better hopes. SUMO SMASH (1) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.
