Warrnambool Race 8 - Cassign (Bm70)
A lot of these coming back from hurdling or steeplechasing which is tricky. On the flat, MOTIVER (6) and REDDIVO (3) bring the best form having both run in the placings in a BM56 at Geelong last time out. MOTIVER was third there but beaten under a length and has strong form over 3000m so expect he can turn the tables on REDDIVO who will take holding out as well. TRIORA (7) was a narrow sixth in that race and can improve up in trip. SUNDAY BUZZ (4) ran fifth in a maiden hurdle last time out, his form earlier in the campaign over these longer trips was sound. THURMOND (5) has won a hurdle trial since the Geelong run and has claims.

Last start favourite; won by 4.5 len at this track Thackeray Chase June 28 over 3450m on a heavy track defeating Mr Lincoln carrying 65kg at $2.05. The start before that favourite; won by 3 len at Casterton Chase May 17 over 3800m on a rain affected track defeating Saint Eustace carrying 66.5kg at $2.40. Back to flat here a concern but he's flying over the steeples.
