Warrnambool Race 5 - Sportsbet Ht2 (1-4 Wins)
DEEP THINKER (1) was out of the placings last time when sixth at Geelong (26.48) but scored three back at Bendigo (23.82). Comes through a solid form race last start. Can bounce back. MAGIC BOCCA (5) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in five starts, including two wins and three placings. Was out of the placings last time (31.36) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 12 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. KAELIX STORM (2) finished fourth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his flying 23.17 win at Horsham over 410m. Should be in this for a long way. ASTON BARRISTER (8) won as expected last time and is a major player again.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 6th over 460m at Geelong beaten 13 lengths (26.48) behind Not Again in a Restricted WIN H on April 10. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame last start when a 7 length fourth (26.01) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at Horsham. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.

Did a good job two starts back at The Meadows to win by 1.3 lengths in 30.15, beating Rev Gordon. Last start finished 7th on April 4 over 525m at The Meadows behind My Mate Leo beaten 8 lengths (30.68) in a Mix 6/7 FIN. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
