Warrnambool Race 9 - Silver Brute At Stud

BLESSED RAIN (5) was a last start winner (21.54) from Box 5 at Shepparton. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Great chance to get the job done again. PAW RIVAL (2) was in the money last time at Warragul (22.60) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths second. Has seven wins already from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. MOLLY MCKAYLA (1) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and four minors from 10 tries. In the money last time at this track (22.30) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 5.5 lengths third. Among the main chances. BETTER BANJO (3) scored in impressive time last start. Worth consideration.
