GOING: S(7)

Subway Warrnambool BM56 Handicap 1000m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.78)  

Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. MISS TALLCHIEF (1) is yet to win fresh but looks very well placed this line-up. Loves it here at home, claimer has a great record while aboard and will get the speed up front to charge late. Should be tough to hold off. SHADOW BLACK (8) gave a start but really knuckled down in the straight and came home hard to score on the line. Back in form and will be winding up strongly again. GOLDEN VADER (4) raced on speed last time in slightly tougher grade, finishing third. Improving mare who won her only try course and distance and shapes as one of the main chances. THE KILL CLUB (7) turned in a solid run fresh and did win only other try when second-up. Has a low draw and will give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Tallchief on home track.
