Warrnambool Race 3 - Carter Group Lafferty Hrdl
MR WATERVILLE (1) was hailed a new star of the jumps scene when he strolled home in the Australian Hurdle, which followed a couple of good performances here during the carnival. The Flemington run last start, when only beaten 3-3/4 lengths, would have kept him up to the mark nicely. ONGATITI (4) was dominant winning his jumps maiden here then no match for MR WATERVILLE a couple of days later. Bounced back last time though, beating ANDY WIN (3) who is a rival here. ANDY WIN bounced out of that to win last time though and he can improve again here. They look to be the three key players. FABALOT (2) is good enough at his best, but you wonder whether he can reproduce that. NASSAK DIAMOND (5) looked a promising hurdler a couple of seasons back but hasn't done a heap of jumps racing of late and comes here off the back of some reasonable flat form.

Useful gelding. Last run finished fifth of 8 starters at Sandown-Lakeside Aust Chase on May 31 over 3900m, on rain affected going; 18 len behind Sing For Peace with 65kg at $11. Start before came from midfield; finished third in a small field at Casterton Chase on May 17 over 3800m, slow track; 10 len behind Golden Garden carrying 71.5kg at $5.50. Continues to make headway. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Impressive in recent runs. Last start to post a big 5.5 len win. This track Bm115 Hdle on June 14 over 3200m in the wet defeating Ardakan carrying 72kg at $1.70 in a jumps. The start before that; sat on the speed and boxed on steadily finished second of 8 runners at Sandown-Lakeside Bm120 Hdle on May 31 over 3400m, on a wet track; 2.25 len behind Ongatiti carrying 70kg at $3.40. Definite winning chance. In form and will take some stopping.

Useful type. Last start came from midfield; finished third of 10 starters at Bendigo Bm70 on June 13 over 3600m, slow track; 2.5 len behind Captain Electric with 58kg at $4.20. Start before eased back early on finished fourth in a small field at Moe Bm66 on May 28 over 2400m, in the wet; 13 len behind Captain Electric with 59.5kg at $9. Continues to make headway. Jumps form good a couple of seasons back but this is a tough ask.
