Warrnambool Race 3 - The Victoria Hotel Port Fairy Mdn Plate
FIOROWNGOOD (2) is building towards a maiden win, sent out a $2 favourite here two back when just battling on a bottomless track before dropping back to 1400m and just finding one better. This looks an ideal race and he should be very hard to catch. HILL CRY (4) made nice improvement second up at Casterton to grab third and profiles as if the trip will suit. Rates well and looks a key danger. WINTER ARC (8) wasn't bad on debut at Hamilton and should improve off that having handled the heavy 10 quite well. STAFF WRITER (6) is a rough hope, the debut on similar ground was solid but she is sharply up in trip.

Second-up. First-up after six months 8th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Casterton on August 9 over 1400m, slow going 9 len behind The Cable Guy carrying 69.5kg at $31. Previously second-up eased back early on 8th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on January 26 over 1440m, 11 len behind Veyepee carrying 59.5kg at $151. Still early in the prep and might need more time.

Form hard to fault. Last start raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Casterton on August 9 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind The Cable Guy carrying 69.5kg at $3.30. Before that 4th in a small field in a Mdn-Sw at this track on July 23 over 1700m, in the wet; 14 len behind Needlestick carrying 59.5kg at $2. Rates highly on the latest effort and can measure up.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, ran second last of 8 in a 2yo Hcp at Wodonga on July 26 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 24 len behind Glide with 59kg at $61. Last start ran second last of 7 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 6 over 1400m, 15 len behind Lepolo with 58kg at $101. Can't see him breaking through for the maiden win this time.

At debut, 4th of 7 in a Mdn-Sw at Hamilton on August 1 over 1600m, in the wet; 5 len behind Boss Boy with 57kg at $7. Better for that run and can figure prominently.
