Warrnambool Race 2 - South West Communications Mdn Plate
BURROW (2) was strong late when runner-up over 1200m at Ballarat Synthetic last time out 3 weeks ago and now looks ready to peak. He has the pole position and appeals as a leading winning chance. SECRET CROSSING (10) was fair as the favourite first-up at Bendigo when finishing third in a 4-horse field and should take good improvement from that run. The step up in distance looks ideal, and on her home track, she can set the record straight, so follow your money. PRIME PATTERN (8) resumes with 3 good jump-outs under his belt and looks forward enough to make an immediate impact. He was a talented juvenile and can progress this season as a 3YO. ENDLESS FURY (9) returns from a break on her home track and will be ready to show something after a sound recent jump-out 4 days ago. Keep her safe. TUSCAN ROSE (11) makes her debut with plenty of jump-out experience behind her, winning the last couple of those on the bounce. Follow the markets in.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, 5th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 6 over 1200m, 7 len behind Saludar carrying 55.5kg at $41. Second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 31 over 1200m, 3 len behind What A Ripper with 57kg at $71. Looks well placed to break the ice.

Gelding by Bivouac on debut. Trialled on May 14 at Caulfield Heath over 800m and finished eighth. Has the pedigree so could well make a positive start to his career.

Resuming after a break; only one run when ran last of 11 in a 2yo Hcp at this track on May 6 over 1200m, in the wet; 27 len behind Centenary Florin carrying 59kg at $51. Might be better off following this run.

Was well-supported at debut, ran second last in a small field in a 3yo F Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on August 26 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 1.75 len behind London Fields carrying 57kg at $2.10. Shows ability and expected to improve. Should come on following that hit-out and looks set to break the maiden status.
