Bellabama brings the strongest recent form, finishing a close second at this track and distance on a Soft 7 just 19 days ago. Second-up today, she should improve off that run and gets a 2kg weight advantage as a filly. Looks the one to beat.

Carlton Draught Harry Bell Mdn Plate
Flying Done brings solid recent form, finishing 3rd at this track and distance on a Soft 7 track 19 days ago. Has proven ability on soft tracks and should be right in the finish again.
Brazen Warrior showed promise on debut with a close second at Seymour 17 days ago. While untested on soft tracks and stepping up to 1400m for the first time, he has a good draw and comes from a strong stable. May find one or two better suited to today's conditions.
Shades Of Stardom brings consistent form with 2 placings from 4 starts, including strong performances at this track and distance. Has proven ability on soft tracks and the addition of blinkers for the first time could be the catalyst for improvement.

Qx3 Sports Michael Shanahan Mdn Plate
Dirnaseer brings the strongest recent form, finishing a close second at this track on soft ground just 19 days ago. Second-up today with natural improvement expected, he's proven on soft tracks and has the tactical versatility to overcome the wide barrier. The Patrick & Michelle Payne/Billy Egan combination adds further confidence.
Bazzar showed promise in his only start with a strong second placing on soft ground. First-up from a spell but has a perfect record when fresh (1 from 1 placings). The Tom Dabernig stable knows how to prepare horses and the removal of winkers suggests they're looking for improvement. Well-weighted at 58kg and drawn perfectly in barrier 5, he should get an ideal run in transit.
Buzitup brings solid consistent form with a 4th and 2nd in his last two starts, including a 2nd placing at this track. Has proven ability on soft tracks with a placing. The extreme outside barrier is a significant concern, but his racing pattern suggests he'll get back and run on strongly.
She's shown ability on soft tracks with a placing from two attempts and the first-time blinkers should sharpen her focus. The Tom Dabernig stable has engaged top jockey Linda Meech, suggesting they expect a forward showing.

APCO Service Stations Banjo Paterson (Bm62)
The step up to 1700m looks ideal based on his racing pattern, and he gets in well at the weights. Has tactical versatility to settle midfield and should be strong late with the moderate-fast tempo likely to suit.
Seasoned campaigner in career-best form with consecutive wins. The main concern is the 61kg topweight and potential for rain-affected going where his record is less impressive. Likely to push forward from barrier 2 and should be right in the finish if handling conditions.
Consistent performer who regularly finds one or two better but drops significantly in class here. Linda Meech is a positive jockey booking and the horse handles soft tracks. Main query is the 60.5kg weight and unproven record at both track and distance.
Form has been improving steadily and should appreciate soft conditions based on his heavy track record (5:1-1-1). Will Gordon stays aboard after their last-start success.

Cassign Harry Chauvel (Bm66)
The Mitchell Freedman stable is in good form, and the addition of a tongue tie is a positive gear change.
Consistent mare who has been racing in stronger company and drops in class here. Her excellent record at the distance (2 wins from 5 starts) and proven ability on soft tracks (3 wins from 11 starts) are significant positives. Coming off a good 3rd in open company at Ararat, and the inside barrier should allow Linda Meech to secure a good position in running.
Consistent gelding with a strong record at the distance (1 win, 2 seconds from 5 starts). Has been racing in stronger company and drops in class here. Will Gordon should be able to position him midfield from barrier 6, and he has the ability to finish strongly.
Consistent gelding with an excellent record at the distance (2 wins, 1 third from 4 starts) and proven ability on soft tracks (2 wins from 6 starts). Has been racing in higher class races and drops in grade here. Finished a good 3rd last start at Mornington over this distance. The wide barrier is a concern, but Sam Kennedy should be able to find a position with his early speed.

OTI Racing Jericho Cup Consolation (Bm67)
His proven ability over extreme distances (placed in 3000m races) and good draw in barrier 2 should allow him to settle on-pace, which suits Warrnambool's track profile. The soft track is a query but his class edge compensates.
His proven ability at 2400m-2500m suggests he'll handle the step up to 3400m, and his versatile racing style allows tactical options. The wide barrier is a concern, but his strong form outweighs this negative.
Jenni The Tank comes off a last-start win over 2845m and has shown consistent form with 2 wins from her last 5 starts. She has Warrnambool track experience with 1 placing from 1 start and handles staying distances well.
Sunday Buzz represents excellent value with his strong Warrnambool record (1-2-1 from 8 starts) and proven ability on soft tracks. His last start 2nd over 2845m indicates he's in form and will handle the 3400m journey. His experience at extreme distances (placed in 3000m+ races) is a significant advantage, and his local track knowledge could prove decisive.

TAB Midnight Madness (Bm70)
The Kill Club brings the strongest recent form, winning at Ararat 5 days ago and placing at Warrnambool on a Soft 7 prior. Though stepping up in class, her progressive profile and excellent record on rain-affected tracks (1-2-0 from 4 soft track starts) make her well-suited to today's conditions. The 1200m is new territory but her racing pattern suggests it should suit.
Colour Our World brings strong Warrnambool credentials (1-1-1 from 4 starts) and a solid first-up record (0-1-1 from 3 starts). The advantageous barrier (5) should allow her to secure a good position in running. Dean Yendall knows her well and should give her every chance.
Thailess represents the class runner dropping significantly in grade. Her excellent distance record (2-4-1 from 12 starts) and consistent performances in stronger company make her a genuine contender despite the wide barrier. Linda Meech is a significant jockey booking, though the soft track is a concern with her record showing 0-1-1 from 6 starts on soft going.
Rose Of Shalaa represents excellent value given her outstanding soft track record (2-1-0 from 4 starts) and strong first-up performances (1-2-0 from 4 starts). Though coming off a 260-day spell, her trainer has her ready to fire fresh, and she's proven at this level.

Warrnambool Toyota Charge At Beersheba Sprint (Bm70)
Speir brings the strongest form credentials with 4 wins from 7 starts including an impressive victory last start at Moe. While rising in class, his second-up record is perfect and he's drawn ideally in barrier 4 to take advantage of the on-pace pattern at Warrnambool.
Demojo brings strong credentials with 5 wins from 10 starts and excellent heavy track form (2 from 2). The wide barrier is a concern at Warrnambool, but his proven ability to handle heavy conditions could be crucial if the track deteriorates further from the current Soft 7.
Foragoodcause brings solid recent form with three consecutive placings, including a third at Geelong 16 days ago. While he's only won once from 8 starts, his consistency is admirable and he has previous experience at Warrnambool with a placing. The wide barrier is a concern, but with Dean Yendall aboard and a moderate weight, he can run into the placings again.
While unproven at the track and distance, her soft track ability makes her a genuine chance in these conditions.

Haymes Paint Jericho Cup (Bm90)
His recent form is solid with a 4th at Geelong over 3762m, and he has tactical versatility to position midfield. With proven ability on soft/heavy tracks (3 wins from 16 starts) and experience at this extreme distance, he's well-suited to the conditions and represents the strongest winning chance.
Farag won this race last year and returns in good form after winning at Geelong over 3762m. He's proven on soft tracks with 4 wins from 12 starts and has the experience to handle this extreme distance. The top weight of 70kg is a concern, but his class and previous success over the course and distance make him a major contender despite the wide barrier.
Ferago brings solid recent form with a 3rd placing at Geelong over 3762m. He handles soft tracks well with 4 wins from 12 starts and draws favorably in barrier 2. While he lacks experience at this extreme 4600m distance, his staying credentials and consistency make him a genuine place chance. The 67kg is manageable and he should be in the finish.
While unproven at this extreme distance, his recent performances suggest he'll handle the trip and offers significant value.

Matko Hire Goodbye Albany Farewell Australia (Bm66)
Lightly-raced and progressive gelding from the Symon Wilde yard who has shown significant ability in just four career starts. While resuming from a spell, his first-up record shows he can perform fresh, and the stable knows how to prepare horses for this track. The wide barrier is a concern, but his class should overcome this.
Well-performed gelding resuming from a spell with a strong first-up record. Drops significantly in class after competing in open company races at metropolitan tracks. Has won at Warrnambool previously and draws well in barrier 6. Dean Yendall knows the horse well and the stable has targeted this race. Main query is his ability on soft ground if the track remains rain-affected.
Has excellent form at Warrnambool (3:1-1-0) and thrives on wet tracks with 5 wins from 16 starts on soft/heavy going. Drops significantly in class after racing in stronger company and the return of blinkers is a positive gear change. The wide barrier and top weight are negatives, but his class and track experience compensate.
First-up specialist with Linda Meech engaged from a favorable barrier 5 draw.
