Warracknabeal Race 1 - The Bentley Group Mdn Plate
FAT BOTTOM GIRL (7) hinted with a good first-up run that she had come back better than previous campaigns and it's worth noting she didn't have a jumpout or trial leading into that so she should be significantly better for it. REDEMPTION TIME (8) has been a frustration for connections, having not been able to crack it for a win after 18 starts but figuring in the placings on eight occasions. Hard to tip with confidence but is a must for quinellas and trifectas. WHATA STRETCH (3) is another who has trialled well and hasn't missed a First 4 slot in his past six starts. COOL CHARLIE (1) needs to lift to be a winning hope, but should be better for the first-up run.

Third-up today. First-up 5th of 9 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw on March 16 over 975m, 7 len behind Kathy's Rose with 59.5kg at $101. Second run from a spell got back early 9th of 12 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 6 over 1100m, 7 len behind Smashing Action carrying 58kg at $61. Likely to go around at long odds again.

Is first-up after a break of ten weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign fourth of 7 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw February 9 over 1000m, 4 len behind Anhalt with 59.5kg at $5. When resuming last campaign third of 10 at Stawell Mdn-Sw December 14 over 1102m, 4.5 len behind The Mount with 59.5kg at $9.50. This is an ideal race to kick off. Expecting him to hit the ground running this campaign.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 10 at Seymour 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 22 over 1300m, in the wet; 29 len behind Warparty carrying 56.5kg at $41. Might be better off following this run.

On debut. Three-year-old gelding by Ilovethiscity out of Princess Marauder. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 900m at Naracoorte April 6. OK trial recently and from a canny stable, so respect any market moves.

Second run back. First-up after five months led but faded 3rd of 7 at Donald Mdn-Sw on April 7 over 1000m, 2 len behind Iron Fury with 57.5kg at $26. Previously second-up second last in a small field at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on November 11 over 1000m, 10 len behind Rubiquity with 57.5kg at $7.50. Cannot be disregarded on the back of that sort of form.

Form hard to fault. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw on April 4 over 975m, 0.8 len behind Russian Ember with 57.5kg at $2.40. Before that 2nd of 9 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw on March 16 over 975m, 2 len behind Kathy's Rose carrying 57.5kg at $3.70. Leading contender.

She is resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Not seen since she finished last of 12 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn-Sw November 3 over 1100m, 13 len behind Madam Jeanette with 51.5kg at $61. On debut second last of 9 at Mt Gambier 3yo+ Mdn-Sw September 22 over 900m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind In Your Words carrying 54.5kg at $11. Prefer to see how she has returned.

Three-year-old filly (Overshare - Miss Pasek). Paul Preusker has her primed for this with three recent trials leading in today's debut. Won her most recent trial at Donald over 850m on April 8. Don't rule her out.
