Warrnambool Race 8 - Warrnambool Members Cup Ht5 (275+ Rank)
FRED THE FOX (1) was a little disappointing last start at Bendigo when 5th (24.27) over 425m. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won two of two tries. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from five starts. Has ability and can bounce back. BUSH PROFIT (6) was below best last time finishing eighth at Healesville, but prior to that had been racing well including a Grade 5 win two back at Geelong. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. BLACK STATESMAN (5) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (23.90) in a Grade 5 at Horsham. Form here sound including two wins. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Leading chance. ASTON TELMONT (2) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Could manage only fifth last time but impressed the start prior when he clocked a solid 23.97 over 425m when narrowly beaten, at Bendigo. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (26.08) at big odds over 450m at this track. Has a low draw and is in the mix.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 390m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Missed the frame latest (23.90) when sixth over 410m at Horsham in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Makes strong appeal.

Ordinary effort last start when she was slow out over 300m at Healesville. Prior to that won comfortably by 5 lengths at Geelong (22.43) beating Jacaerys Bale in a Grade 5 on April 14. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on April 23 over 390m at this track behind Paw Kenneth beaten 4 lengths (22.67). Should be around the mark.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 390m. Last start finished last on April 20 over 390m at this track behind Penny Pinto beaten 8 lengths (23.01) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
