Warracknabeal Race 2 - Marong Family Hotel Mdn Plate
Lots of these close to a win. SATTVA (12) is a six start maiden who has been knocking the door with back to back seconds after trying to lead throughout. Has a low draw and will take catching again. APACHE SUNRISE (5) is another overdue. Has placed 7/11 and put together a string of minors lately. Has been running on hard and looks tough to stop again. FAKE FICTION (7) place don the ballarat Synthetic fresh then midfield there last time. Back to the turf and can improve third-up. THE JUDGE RULED (3) is heading the right way and gets his chance to get off the mark. SHUJINKO (2) should be at peak fitness now and is a definite top three chance.

Recent form sound. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 14 at Swan Hill on July 28 over 1300m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Budjik Queen carrying 57.5kg at $6. The start before that 3rd of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic on July 14 over 1400m, 1.4 len behind Done My Job with 57.5kg at $3.60. Long overdue and looks tough to beat.

Resuming after a year break. Finished off last campaign fifth of 7 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw August 26 over 1200m, 8 len behind Single Choice carrying 55kg at $3.50. On debut fourth in a small field at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo F Mdn-Sw August 6 2025 over 1200m, soft track; 1.5 len behind Censori carrying 57kg at $3.50. Resumes after a recent trial win. Rates highly on debut run and capable of a bold return.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at Murtoa on July 25 over 1200m, slow going 1.0 len behind King Camelot with 57.5kg at $4.40. Before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 10 at Bairnsdale on June 12 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 0.8 len behind Can't Be Reel carrying 57.5kg at $7.50. Speedy type drawn to take catching.
