Warrnambool Race 2 - Western District Electrical Services Mdn Plate
GRIFTER (3) resumes having run a good race on debut at Pakenham back in May, getting home well for third to subsequent city winner Obambulate. Only beaten 1.3 lengths there, he sets a good standard and should take plenty of beating. ALCHEMISTIC (2) debuted in a deep maiden at Geelong behind Greenwich Boy and Keen Observer. He only managed fifth there but should improve and looks a key hope. ADMIRAL'S POINTE (1) is a gelding by Rubick on debut for the Shane Jackson yard. He's jumped out well enough for this and should be ready to go on his home deck. SILENT DEVOTION (8) ran well first up at Bendigo behind Group-performed I Am Aria at Bendigo when third, beaten 2.5 lengths. Up to 1200m suits nicely and she'll take holding out. PERSIAN CAT (5) is a Ghaiyyath gelding on debut for the in-form Dabernig yard who should run well.

Three-year-old gelding (Rubick - Firmity). He has three recent trials leading in today's debut. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Flemington on August 28. Trained on the course and should be primed to play a major role.

Second-up. First start 3rd of 7 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Ballarat on March 10 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Harry Met Sally with 56kg at $7. Returned from break 3rd of 7 in a 3yo F Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on August 12 over 1000m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind I Am Aria carrying 57kg at $21. Fitter and has solid claims.
