Warracknabeal Race 5 - Goldacres Mdn Plate
RANSELOT (9) will be fitter again and is ready to deliver for the premier stable. Has a soft gate and Linda rides and knows her way around here. She stepped up to this trip last time on the synthetic. BRYDAN (5) got too far back last time but was only beaten 2L at Werribee prior and that's good form. Tackles a longer journey this time. Can feature. The blinkers come off OBSTRUCTIONIST (1) following a plainer run at Ballarat over a staying distance. This suits better and his best would see him in the finish. RANSELOT's stablemate QUICK QUDOS (2) maps well and is likely to show more third-up while SMOKIN' ROHIE (3) can contest for a place.

Third-up today. Resuming second last in a small field at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on May 29 over 1600m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Knobelas with 57.5kg at $21. Second run from a spell 3rd of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw on June 23 over 2200m, 4.5 len behind Flash Of Dallas carrying 57.5kg at $16. Rates highly. Should be cherry ripe third-up and looks very hard to beat.

At the latest run raced on the pace before fading 8th of 11 at Albury Mdn-Sw on June 16 over 1500m, in the wet; 7 len behind Blazing Sword carrying 57kg at $201. The run before that sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 9 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on May 25 over 1500m, on a slow track; 19 len behind Simply Outrageous carrying 56kg at $201. Impossible to make a case.
