Warrnambool Race 2 - Cassign Mdn Plate
PLEASING SMILE (10) is knocking on the door with consecutive runner-up finishes, missing by a nose at Wodonga two back and hitting the line strongly to get within a head at Tatura last time. Back in trip again here is interesting but he'll be very hard to hold out. SETHEUS (3) is another close to breaking through, no match for A Diva last start at Sale but that form has held up well with the winner winning easily again since. Off a let up for this here but should take beating. LORD CODA (9) is going well, perhaps unsuited coming back in trip at Tatura last time, but still working home well. Drawn to effect here and is in the mix. ZWASP (4) was awful last time at Cranbourne but had been good prior at Sale and could bounce back. CALYPSO KING (1) was okay fresh and can improve.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 60-day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Sale Mdn-Sw on August 17 over 1400m, 3 len behind A Diva carrying 59.5kg at $3. The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 13 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on August 10 over 1400m, slow going 2.5 len behind Sheez Elegant carrying 59.5kg at $2.90. Won't need to improve much at all.

Form hard to fault. Most recently raced on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Tatura Mdn-Sw on September 30 over 1000m, 4 len behind Blue Moon Summit with 57kg at $4.80. The run before that 4th of 8 at Hamilton 3yo Mdn-Sw on September 15 over 1200m, slow going 1.1 len behind Arizona Luck with 58kg at $6.50. Can improve again. Should take beating.

Recent form sound. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Tatura Mdn-Sw on September 30 over 1450m, head behind Gregarious Girl with 57kg at $3.80. The start before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 8 at Wodonga Mdn-Sw on September 16 over 1590m, nose behind McWoody with 57kg at $2.80. Went close last time. Rates highly, should go close.
