Warragul Race 8 - Paua Of Buddy At Stud

AKINA JACK (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (29.83) in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to his credit. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. SPICY ASSASSIN (7) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 4 length fifth (22.82) over 400m at this track. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Shapes as one to consider. RHYTHMIC ENERGY (1) missed the frame latest (30.12) when seventh over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Has already won four times from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well. DR. ERICA (3) was on the bunny all the way to win last start. Must be respected.
