Warrnambool Race 1 - John Rule Champion Nov Hrdl
LOFT (5) was heavily backed to win a maiden hurdle here on March 28, and while he did a few things wrong jumping-wise, the one time Melbourne Cup fancy's flat prowess shone through to win narrowly. Expecting he improves sharply from that and can win again. BITCOIN (4) won a maiden hurdle as favourite at his jumps debut as well. Have to respect the Pateman polish, he'll be there to pounce if LOFT makes any mistakes. ROAD RUNNER (6) is lightly raced, beaten narrowly as favourite at his Australian jumping debut at Pakenham. He's a former New Zealander and can improve quickly. TREASURED CROWN (2) was dominant when winning a maiden hurdle here over the smart Prismatic, with a big weight swing. Have to respect again.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up failed to make an impression; finished eighth of 12 runners at Ballarat Bm64 on March 7 over 2000m, 8 len behind Preferential with 61.5kg at $19. Second run from a spell to post a big 18 len win. This track Hdle on March 28 over 3200m slow track defeating Prismatic with 66kg at $1.55 in a hurdle. Fitter now and making headway every start. Hard to beat if he holds the good form.
