Warragul Race 9 - Paua Of Buddy At Stud Veterans
BRING YOUR BEST (4) bolted home by 9 lengths (22.53) at this track last time from box 7. Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Can measure up again. WHIPPING IT (2) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (22.93) at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from seven starts. Should be about the money. BETTER BANJO (1) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his lightning win a few runs back, getting around this track over 400m in 22.37. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. BELOW THE CURVE (6) can fill a top-three spot.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (22.69) over 400m at Geelong. Boxed out wide and will need the breaks to go his way.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (24.74) in a Free For All, finishing a 7 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from nine starts. Will need the right run.
