Warrnambool Race 6 - S & S O'keefe Bricklaying (Bm62)
PASTORAL KING (5) made a highly professional debut at this venue, winning a Mdn by two lengths on heavy ground after being sent out favourite. He has already shown he handles the Bool conditions if they stay soft and he looks the horse with the upside to remain unbeaten. KING WEST (3) is the established form threat after placings at his past two, including a head defeat at this track when well-supported favourite and he maps for a sweet run. ICY POLE (7) was only beaten two and a half lengths first-up at this venue and has the right profile to improve second-up, though KING WEST did have her measure in that recent meeting. Chance with improvement. SECRET CROSSING (11) bolted in with an Avoca maiden at the third time of asking and warrants respect as well.

Slowly away and safely held when seventh at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths behind Buzitup after starting big odds. He had won by a nose at Mt Gambier the start prior, beating Supreme Thunder on soft ground, and he is proven at this track and distance. Risking.

Resumed in a BM70 at Hamilton and finished last, beaten just under seven lengths after having her chance near the speed. Her Geelong fourth in BM70 grade before a spell was better, though she also failed to go on from a handy spot there. Can improve.

Went under by only a head at this track last start after pressing forward as a well-supported favourite, with Buzitup just getting him late. That followed a solid second in a BM66 at Pakenham Synthetic, so the form pattern is consistent. Sets up well and should take plenty of beating.

Stormed home from well back to be beaten a nose at this track last start, producing a big turnaround after being unwanted in betting. The run prior at Kilmore was plain when seventh and beaten six and a half lengths, so backing up that latest spike is the question. Genuine place hope if that latest effort holds.

Made a winning debut at this venue on heavy ground, scoring by two lengths in a Mdn after being sent out favourite and putting Semper Augustus away strongly. He had trialled twice last month before that, so the result had some grounding behind it. Still learning, but the upside is obvious and he looks the one to beat.

Was fifth at this track first-up, beaten two and a half lengths behind Buzitup after being near the top of betting and making contact near the 200m. She finished behind King West there, but the margin was not decisive and she is entitled to come on second-up. Can improve second-up and remains a genuine threat.

Checked shortly after the start at Kilmore first-up and finished sixth, beaten five and a half lengths in a CG BM56, so there was some excuse for the margin. He gets weight relief from that run, but rises in grade and his wet-track record is a genuine concern. Others appeal more.

Held up passing the 300m when fourth at Kyneton last week, beaten just under four lengths in a CG BM56, so the run had more merit than the bare result. His Coleraine sixth in BM66 company was only fair, and this quick back-up comes with a grade rise. Rough hope at best.

Dominated a Mdn at Avoca last start, beating Inside Word by five lengths after starting an outside chance in betting. That was a clear improvement on her eighth at this track over 1400m, where she was beaten over 10 lengths and laid in. Harder now but can go on with it.
