Ararat Race 1 - Thank You Gaye Williams Pace

WAZOWSKI (3) finished sixth last start over 2250m at Boort, beaten 6 metres, after a modest seventh at Bendigo the run prior. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender if things go her way. YNOBE DAKOTA (1) settled handy but couldn't finish the race off and could only manage seventh last start over 1690m at Maryborough, that effort coming after a minor placing at Charlton the run before. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. OPTIMAL (10) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 2190m at Maryborough last time out. JAMES GARNER NZ (11) is worth some thought based on his second over 2150m at Birchip two runs ago.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Lenard Ess at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR up to 49 on February 25 at $11. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at Charlton was leading by 4.8 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Breathe Easy (1:55.50) in NR 41 to 45 on February 16 at $4.80. Drawn favourably and is worth another chance.

Seven-year-old entire showed improvement last start. Was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr5) over 1780m after showing early speed and racing wide at Mt Gambier beaten 15 m by Roblen Ranger (2:12.40) in 4yo+ NR 41 to 45 on March 14 at $34. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Spook Crocker at Mt Gambier over 2190m in a 4yo+ NR up to 64 on March 6 at $101. Prefer others on this occasion.

Improved last start with a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 2190m at Maryborough was 2nd-4.6 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Shaq (2:39.40) in NR up to 50 on March 16 at $12. Can continue the good form and take this out.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Heatseeker at Charlton over 2100m in a NR 50 to 55 on March 15 at $10. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 2150m after showing early speed at Birchip, at the bell was leading 0.1 beaten a head by Shotinthedark (2:41.10) in NR up to 55 on March 8 at $4.40. Well placed and expected to bounce back.
