Warrnambool Race 1 - Warrnambool City Volkswagen 2Yo
Tricky with so many on debut. Of the raced, THE OPPORTUNIST (6) clearly stands out. Two runs back from a spell have been good, beaten under a length at Pakenham last time out. The race experience will count for plenty. ZOUTANIUM (5) is a colt by Zoustar on debut for the Busuttin & Young stable. Blake Shinn booked is a strong lead and he's jumped out well enough to indicate good ability. SMASHING LAD (3) is a colt by Brave Smash on debut for local trainers Maddie Raymond & Patrick Bell. He's won a jump out leading in and has to be respected. SHADES OF STARDOM (2) is a gelding by Tosen Stardom on debut for the Matt Williams yard. He looked handy winning a recent trial and has been popular early. ARIZONA LUCK (7) is a filly by Lucky Vega on debut for the Wilde yard and is another who should be respected.

First-starter by Soul Patch out of Echo Diamond. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Jump outs just fair, betting best guide.

Matthew Williams trained two-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Recent trial winner at Terang. Good draw will assist chances. Makes debut on home course and breaks from a low barrier draw so can be competitive.

Two-year-old filly (Lucky Vega - Arizona Belle) who was bought for AUD $ 90,000 (Inglis 2024 Premier Yearling Sale). Symon Wilde has her primed for this with three recent trials prior to her debut today. Finished fourth in a Warracknabeal trial over 1000m on April 22. Must respect local yard.
