Warragul Race 9 - Barn Function Area (300+ Rank)
CLASSIC HOUDINI (7) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a neck win at Healesville over 300m in 16.88. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Hard to go past. OLD HABITS (4) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 5th (23.15) at this track. Got the money at his only try from this box. Shapes as one to consider. ASTUTE QUEEN (1) stuck on well last time to finish 0.8 lengths back in third (22.50) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 over 390m. Bold showing expected. YEAH YOU (2) is worth including.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won easily by 4 lengths at this track (22.92) beating Paw Kiplin in a Grade 5 on February 26. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.

Solid performance to win by a neck at Healesville over 300m (16.88) beating Be A Secret in T3 Grade 6 on March 25. Looks the one to beat again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 400m at this track. Can't make much of a case this time.
