Warracknabeal Race 7 - Emmetts Warracknabeal Cup
The big one of the day, which includes defending champion ANGRY SKIES, who again looks a key player. BLACK STORM (2) might be his biggest stumbling block for back-to-back Cups, coming off a nice win in the Albury Mile on Cup Day. That came after a Bendigo trial win, which proved he had bounced back from the Caulfield flop and, despite the wide draw, he'll be looking to race on speed, which would aid his prospects. ANGRY SKIES (5) only had 1kg more than last year, when he won on a plain run in BM78 grade at Caulfield, but comes into this off a fourth in the Bairnsdale Cup, which is probably superior form. WILD IMAGINATION (4) is a fascinating runner over from WA, but brings some good ratings with him and rarely runs poorly. GOLD BULLION (1) is another newcomer to Vic, previously trained by Waterhouse/Bott, and he looked to move well in a recent trial win. CHARTRES (6) needs to lift, but likes to race on-speed and draws to do so.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Not raced for 49 days. First-up second last of 9 at Randwick Bm88 on January 3 over 1400m, 4 len behind Cool Jakey carrying 61.5kg at $51. Second run from a spell sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 at Randwick Bm88 on February 14 over 1600m, 6 len behind Jamberoo carrying 61kg at $61. New to the Kennewell yard and impressed in a recent jumpout win.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 50-day let-up. Last start led but faded 3rd of 11 at Esperance Rtg 70+ on February 13 over 1990m, 2.75 len behind Heavenbent with 65.5kg at $4.40. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Esperance Rtg 70+ on January 31 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Mr Talentino with 64.5kg at $10. Hard to measure up the WA form but is a consistent type who rarely puts in a poor one.

At the latest run 4th of 9 at Bairnsdale Bairnsdale Cup on March 22 over 1600m, 2 len behind Kings Valley with 54kg at $18. The race before that ran last in a small field at Morphettville Bm80 on February 21 over 1600m, 7 len behind Bamyan Buddha carrying 59kg at $9. Defending champ who only has 1kg more than last year and comes here in better form.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 11 at Echuca Echa Cup on March 8 over 1400m, 2 len behind Hughes with 54kg at $51. Last start raced on the speed throughout before fading second last of 9 at Bairnsdale Bairnsdale Cup on March 22 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Kings Valley with 54kg at $19. Draws to run an improved race.
