Warrnambool Race 5 - Midland Irrigation (Bm62)
KID DYNAMITE (2) recovered from a slow start to storm home late but just missed when resuming over this course and distance last start. Good second-up performer who only needs to get the start right to be going one better today. WHAT ONCE WAS (9) brought up a well-deserved win last time out when she led all the way and scored with a bit in hand over 975m at Swan Hill. That run came after an eight-week let-up which has obviously done her the world of good. Open to plenty of improvement, so back-to-back is not out of the question. HELLFIRE JESS (7) is back after the three-month spell. Raced just once last prep and scored comfortably over 900m at Mt Gambier. Harder this time but has raced just three times so there is a lot more to come. HAY JOE (4) is first-up off a six-month lay-off. Veteran who struggled last prep but if near his best can be competitive. JUST BOLTS (1) is down in class and draws a far better gate today so watch for sharp improvement at the third run back.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up failed to make an impression; 8th of 11 in a Bm66 at Ballarat on September 30 over 1000m, 7 len behind Yolo with 60.5kg at $13. Second-up eased back early on 7th of 9 in a Bm78 at Cranbourne on October 23 over 955m, 5.5 len behind Tennessee Spirit with 52kg at $71. Rates highly. Strips a lot fitter and should race forward and prove tough to beat.

Second-up. First-up after five months 2nd of 8 in a Bm62 at this track on October 15 over 1000m, nose behind Salaria carrying 61kg at $4.60. Previously second-up 2nd of 13 in a Bm62 at Seymour on April 26 over 1000m, slow going 2 len behind Bring Me Power carrying 61kg at $2.45. Has won second-up in the past and is capable of building on that record.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign favourite; won by 1.2 len in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Mt Gambier on August 7 over 900m in heavy going defeating The Muscle with 54kg at $2.45. When resuming last campaign eased back early on 8th of 10 in a Mm 2yo Classic at Murray Bridge on March 7 over 1100m, 6 len behind Rich On Bubbles carrying 55kg at $6. Trialled on October 22 at Colac over 800m and finished seventh. Can make another successful return.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; won by 1.3 len in a Mdn-Sw at Swan Hill on October 27 over 975m on a soft track defeating Flash Inquiry carrying 55kg at $2.05. The race before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Warracknabeal on August 29 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Honour The Bassett carrying 52kg at $4.20. No reason she cannot take this next step.
