GOING: G(4)

Baillie's Warrnambool Self Storage BM62 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 4.76)  

Our Little Star to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. IT'S A YES (2) charged home from off the pace to win impressively over 1100m at Geelong last time out 10 days ago. He is still on the up with his fitness and will be very hard to hold out again. CHANTRA (5) picked up nicely before the final turn and powered home from the rear to score comfortably fresh up at Echuca over 1200m. She is facing a deeper field here but has the scope to win again. FLYING FURY (8) was prominent throughout and battled on strongly for third at Bendigo, beaten only half a length over 1000m. She finds a suitable race and can figure in the top 4 again. THAIMOR (6) was in a different class at Hamilton, settling just off the speed before letting down sharply to win by 2 lengths. She is on a 7-day backup so must have done well in the interim, and another good run can be expected. BUZITUP (3) resumes from a spell without a public trial, but does come to hand quickly, so he is worth keeping safe. Check his condition pre-race first. SUGGESTED PLAY: It's A Yes can win again.
