Warragul Race 8 - Paua Of Buddy At Stud
BOLD THRUSTER (5) filled a minor placing last start at Sandown behind Kiwi Evoca (29.70) in a Grade 4/5. Has the pace to be prominent. Sure to be about the mark. ZIPPING PERCAT (1) was sent out at big odds from this same box last time but ran above himself when a 2 length third (26.43) at this track in Grade 5 NP. Harder here but expected to measure up. GAS AND DUST (3) ran below best last time finishing fourth (34.66) over 595m at Sandown in a Grade 4/5. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Has ability and can measure up. CHARLIE'S ROSE (2) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (26.43) at this track over 460m. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Was out of placings last time (34.66) at Sandown in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at Sale to win by a neck in 29.16, beating Amron Sammy. Last start finished last on November 6 over 425m at Traralgon behind Maximum Sunset beaten 13 lengths (24.86) in a Grade 5. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (34.71) over 595m at Sandown. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need the right run to feature.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished second at Traralgon in 24.04 last time but the start prior clocked a brilliant 23.90 over 425m finishing second at Traralgon. Among the each way chances if runs up best times.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (28.11) at Bendigo over 500m. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.
