Warragul Race 6 - Sportsbet Ht5 (250+ Rank)
SARSAPARILLA KID (6) charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led for much of the way before being grabbed late, finishing a 0.8 lengths second at this track over 400m in 22.66. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Racing well and deserves a win. BIG BOY COOPER (3) spotted a start but wound up strongly late and finished third and beaten 2 lengths (24.22) at Bendigo in Grade 5. Expected to be in this for a long way. ZIPPING DARLA (1) had been racing well prior to her last start fifth at this track following a Grade 5 win three back with a second placing. Expected to do much better this time. LASERHAWK (4) cannot be dismissed although new to this venue.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.24) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Looks one of the chances.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by half a length in 26.01, beating Extinct. Last start finished last in a Grade 4/5 on January 21 over 450m at Ballarat behind Delicate beaten 8 lengths (25.76). Hard to recommend this time.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 H at this track when a 0.8 lengths second but did run a slick 22.66 over the 400m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 435m at Sale. Would be better placed in something easier.

Has been racing well and scored a good win last start at Healesville on January 22 over 300m in 17.22. Not suited by the wide draw; Happy enough to avoid.
