Warrnambool Race 3 - Kevin Lafferty Hrdl
Sensational race despite the small field. LOFT (2) has been kept nice and fresh with this in mind, by the looks. Narrowly missed the minor placings in the listed Ramsden at Flemington and latest, and now gets over the hurdles where he's unbeaten. Looks the one to beat. NORMANDY BRIDGE (5) is capable of taking it right up to the top pick. Won a hurdles maiden at Terang last start and deserves a crack in a race like this. Respect. ENCHANTED ELLE (6) will push forward and should give them plenty to catch here. Comes into this off a near miss in a tough hurdle race at Casterton and looks perfectly suited back to this trip. RIGHT NOW (1) is another one who drops in trip off a freshen up, and can bounce back today. NASSAK DIAMOND (3) gets back over the sticks now which she seems to enjoy, so don't rule her out.

Useful gelding. Freshened for 35 days. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily finished sixth of 7 starters at Sandown-Lakeside Aust Hdle on June 1 over 3900m, slow track; 11 len behind The Cunning Fox with 66kg at $21. Before that raced on the pace prior to fading finished fifth of 7 runners at Mornington Bm70 on May 26 over 3000m, 5 len behind Affluential carrying 58kg at $4.80. Rates well. Much better placed this trip, and certainly worth including.

Useful gelding. Freshened for 50 days. Last run finished fourth of 18 runners at Flemington in the LR Ramsden on May 17 over 2800m, on slow going 4 len behind Basilinna with 58.5kg at $18. Start before came from midfield and won by 4 len this track Swp Hdle on May 1 over 3200m slow going defeating Bitcoin carrying 67kg at $1.85 in a hurdle. Unbeaten over the sticks and looks the one to beat again.

Useful type. Last run finished tenth of 14 runners at Ballarat Bm64 on June 29 over 2600m, on slow going 9 len behind Ferago carrying 61kg at $4.60. Before that finished 13th of 14 runners at Sandown-Lakeside F&M Bm70 on June 4 over 2100m, 9 len behind Realika carrying 61kg at $101. Always worth keeping safe over the hurdles.

Racing well. Last outing rolled along in front and was edged out late finished second in a small field at Casterton Bm120 Hdle on June 29 over 3500m, on slow going 1.0 len behind Gambu carrying 66.5kg at $1.55. Start before favourite; won by 4.5 len Casterton Mdn Hdle-Sw on May 18 over 3500m slow going defeating Teewaters carrying 67.5kg at $2.70 in a hurdle. Looms as an each-way contender today.
