Warragul Race 8 - Paua Of Buddy At Stud

GOLDEN BEAR (8) is a consistent type who is having his first try here. Raced on speed and lifted strongly to score a 4 length win over 435m at Sale (24.25). Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Well placed and can measure up. NEEDFUL (7) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 6 lengths (25.03) at Warrnambool. Bold showing expected again. MAKE ME KING (1) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including two wins and two placings. Was out of the placings last time (30.38) at Sandown in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. DEWANA FERNANDO (5) warrants respect with the drop in trip.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (29.70) over 515m at Sandown. Aided by the inside draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 400m at this track. That followed a win two back in 25.98 beating Aussie Supreme over 460m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Ran right away with it after tracking the speed making it three straight at Warrnambool over 450m (25.03). In sparkling form and looks a leading chance again.

Eye-catching performance to score by 4 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Sale, recording a flying 24.25 over the 435m journey. Expected to push the clock again here.
