Warrnambool Race 10

Cassign Design

Stake: $3,730

MR. KIA ORA (4) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 2.5 lengths over 425m Bendigo in 24.37. One of the leading chances. DOONGALLA NOMES (1) flew the lids with a slick early split and led until late but gathered in when a 4 length fifth at Geelong over 460m in 26.46. In the mix. MORAINE ARNIE (2) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing sixth (22.67) in a Grade 5 at this track. Well placed here and can atone this time. ASTON OPHELIA (6) is worth including.

Was out of placings last time (26.46) at Geelong in a Grade 5 H, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from six starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (22.70) over 390m at this track. Aided by a low draw and is among the better hopes.

Hit the frame latest (24.37) when second at Bendigo in a Special conditions Veteran race. Has five wins and two placings from 14 starts from the draw. Looks a leading chance.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 0.8 lengths second (22.88) over 400m at Geelong. Has ability and can run well.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, will not find this easy. Not keen.
