Young Race 1 - Poppa's Fudge Factory Waratah Heat
PHAR LUME (9) again drew a wide gate last start but was most impressive, scoring by 4.5 metres at Dubbo over 2120m. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw but rates a primary contender if she gets the right breaks. MAJOR HUSS (3) settled close to the pace and powered home to score in a 1770m race at Albury last start, arriving 2.5 metres ahead of his rivals to make it two wins from his past six runs. Has the benefit of a good draw. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. ALWAYS EXCLUSIF (7) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 2.5 metres at Albury over 2170m. IM BELIEBER (4) was out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished tenth last start over 1720m at this track, coming home 23 metres from the winner. Facing a tougher assignment but a big run is possible if his Mitch Manners improve. Something for the Multiples: PHAR LUME NZ (9)

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m third behind Major Huss at Albury over 1770m NR 45 to 47 last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres third at this track over 1720m in NR up to 50 on August 19. One of the likely contenders.

Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 16 m win as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:06.00) beating Jeremy Lou in NR 37 to 39 on August 19 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 0.4. Solid top-three prospects on best form.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Hesharley at Leeton over 2147m in a NR up to 50 on August 12 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Always Exclusif at Albury over 2170m in a NR up to 52 on August 26 at $9. Has claims based on recent efforts.
