Warragul Race 5 - Barn Bar Function Room

PLAY LAB (4) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 5th (22.96) at Geelong. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Can bounce back. ESSENCE (2) is racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (16.62) over 300m at Healesville. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Ready to find winning form. MAX PEARL (1) boasts a consistent overall record including six wins from 20 starts, the latest winning (24.58) over 435m at Sale. Tends to go well on this box draw. Expected to feature on best form. FERNANDO GOMEZ (7) is worth a look over a shorter journey this time.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sale over 435m in 24.58 last start, beating Doctor Minty. Likes the rails so was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 0.7 lengths second at Healesville but did record a hot 16.62 for the 300m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 390m Shepparton in 22.29. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Worth including.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (22.96) at Geelong over 400m. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Good effort to win last start by 0.7 lengths over 435m at Sale in a handy (24.42), beating Winking Willie. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to overlook.
