Warrnambool Race 4 - Michelin Service Centre Warrnambool Mdn Plate
FAMMI (10) has the best debut profile, winning trials at Camperdown and Coleraine before starting for Tom Dabernig with Linda Meech aboard. The stable-jockey profile gives him a solid platform and he strikes a winnable affair. HUGHIE'S SPIRIT (2) has the strongest exposed form, with a nose second at Ararat on soft ground before finishing sixth at Ballarat, three lengths behind after a slow start. Sets a decent standard. EMPIRE FELLA (9) also has strong debut claims after two close third-place trial finishes, with John Allen positively booked for the local Raymond & Bell stable. Watch the betting. TYCOONETTE (8) has been off for over a year, but her close second in a recent Burrumbeet trial and a tough fourth in a Sale maiden last time in suggest she could be a live chance if fit for the new yard.

Has been safely held at both recent runs at this track, finishing sixth behind Twister last start after sitting handy and failing to quicken. The run prior was similar, though he was wide throughout before finishing seventh behind Upinthecity. Risking.

Returns from a lengthy spell after eight months off and brings some of the better exposed form in the race. He was beaten three lengths when sixth at Ballarat after beginning awkwardly, while the run prior was a nose second to Kijivu at Ararat on soft ground. Should run well fresh.

Makes her debut with blinkers on for the first time and a recent Camperdown trial to help bring her forward. She was a $125,000 yearling buy before later changing hands for $2,250, so the profile has some mixed signals, but the stable has placed two of six debut runners. Market will guide, but she has a profile to run well.

Drawn to use barrier one and reaches the third run of her campaign, but the recent form still has to improve. She was eighth at this track behind Twister last start, beaten just over six lengths, after tracking the speed and only finishing moderately. Has to lift sharply to be a winning factor.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ten months off and has trialled at Colac last week, which gives some fitness context. She ended the last preparation with a third at Mansfield on heavy ground, beaten just over four lengths when near the top of betting, after a plain Geelong run. Last-preparation form was only fair, so improvement has to come.

Returns from a lengthy spell after five months off with a close second in her latest Colac trial as a small positive. Her final run before the break was a distant tenth at Donald, beaten over 13 lengths after pressing forward and offering little, and she had also faded in a Stawell Mdn on heavy ground. See this one.

Back from a lengthy spell after over a year away and has had three trials since her only race start. That debut at Stawell was a clear miss, with a slow beginning followed by a second-last finish, beaten over 11 lengths behind The Mount. She must make a big leap.

Back from a lengthy spell after over a year away, but her readiness is supported by a close second in her latest Burrumbeet trial. She was fourth in a Sale Mdn before the break, beaten just over four lengths after being held up and suffering interference, which reads better than the bare result. Can figure fresh.

Debuts with two close third placings at the trials, the latest at Camperdown, so there is enough groundwork to suggest he can be competitive straight away. John Allen takes the ride, which adds confidence, and the stable has had two placings from six debut runners. Looks forward enough to make a serious first-start impact.

Debuts off the strongest trial base in the field, having won at Camperdown after also winning at Coleraine. Tom Dabernig has a strong local profile and Linda Meech is an important booking, while the family includes multiple winners such as Cooee March and Corro. Dabernig and Meech combine with a strong profile to win first time out.

Comes back on a 10-day turnaround after finishing last in a Mdn at Echuca, beaten five and a half lengths, when unwanted in the market and unable to quicken. Two back at Mildura he had the excuse of racing three wide without cover, but was still beaten just over eight lengths. Wide trip two back excuses a little, but he still profiles as a rough place hope.
