Warracknabeal   12 Jul 2025
 
GOING: S(7)

Buloke Plumbing 0 - 58 Handicap 1000m

Track: Heavy 8   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.76)  

Cracking tempo with Fox Man and Struggle Street leading the way. FOX MAN (1) just missed and then led again and blitzed the Warracknabeal Maidens by 4L on the slow track. Doubt this is much harder and he can go on with the job. EL SALTO (2) has been threatening to win on the synthetic and coming back to turf shouldn't be an issue. Maps well and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. SHADOW BLACK (6) resumed here with a 2.4L defeat further improved. She won't have to improve much to fight out the finish. STRUGGLE STREET (3) resumes and is proven fresh. She's won a jumpout and trial and Linda is booked. No surprise if she comes back better. THE LAST JUDGEMENT (8) would be right in it if he could regather his 1L defeat at Echuca three starts back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Fox Man.

Racing well recently. Last start favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw June 27 over 1000m in soft going defeating Bazzar with 59.5kg at $2.50. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at Casterton 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on June 8 over 1000m, in the wet; 1.0 len behind Cavill Tycoon carrying 59.5kg at $2.10. Sure to measure right up.
