10Winter Arc

Our price $3.60 · SP $10.00 · Tom Madden

Winter Arc is the horse best fitted to the specific demands of Warrnambool on Heavy. Blinkers first time, barrier 1, a 2.5kg weight pull and a proven ability to be in the front three at the 400m give him the profile Warrnambool heavy specialists demand.

2nd pick4th
8His Lady Bay

Our price $3.30 · SP $2.60 · Damien Thornton

But nine starts for no win and no placing is a serious warning, and the profile is exactly what Warrnambool on Heavy punishes: barrier 10, backmarker settling pattern, and a 305m straight that rarely lets closers make up ground. Class should get him into the finish, but he needs the tempo to collapse.

3rd pickWon
4Le Plus Rapide

Our price $7.50 · SP $6.50 · Teodore Nugent

The proven wet-tracker of the race. Le Plus Rapide has 5 starts on heavy for 2 seconds, including a second over this precise course and distance on Heavy 10 in July when he settled third and was still fighting at the line. The map suits with an on-pace position from barrier 7, and Warrnambool heavy rewards exactly that. Against him is 26 starts without a win and 59.5kg in the mud, which caps confidence and makes each-way the sensible play.

8Silent Devotion

Our price $3.60 · SP $10.00 · Declan Bates

The most reliable profile in a volatile heavy-ground maiden. Drawn the inside gate with the light 56kg, she can hold the handy spot Warrnambool demands into the 400m on heavy going, and she strikes second up off a genuine fresh run rather than needing the race.

2nd pick4th
3Grifter

Our price $3.30 · SP $2.80 · Thomas Stockdale

Warrnambool on Heavy 8 has a 305m straight where the front three at the 400m dominate and backmarkers are poor.

3rd pickWon
2Alchemistic

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.40 · Ms L J Meech

The most likely leader and the runner best placed to exploit the Warrnambool heavy pattern of holding the front three into the 400m. Meech is riding at a 40% clip over her last 20 and knows the horse.

5Mister Solly

Our price $3.20 · SP $4.00 · Tom Madden

The purest fit for heavy Warrnambool. Warrnambool on Heavy 8 is a front-half contest where the front three at the 400m dominate and backmarkers are poor, and Mister Solly is the lone genuine leader in the field. Barrier 8 is the only real query.

2nd pick4th
4I'lberidin'shotgun

Our price $3.60 · SP $4.00 · John Allen

He settles near last in every start and heavy Warrnambool rewards runners in the front three at the 400m with a short 305m straight to make ground.

3rd pick5th
6Northern Gold

Our price $7.50 · SP $9.50 · W Gordon

That is the exact positional pattern the track demands. He has a second and a third from three heavy starts, draws better in barrier 6, and backs up in 14 days with the winning rider retained.

8Just My Lot

Our price $2.40 · SP $2.30 · Ms L J Meech

The most reliable form line in a weak heavy-track maiden. Early-speed rank 1 lets Meech, in career-best recent form, cross from gate 8 and hold a forward spot. The perennial-bridesmaid record is the risk, but on wet-track evidence and map she is the most likely winner.

2nd pick2nd
4Pappa Ritch

Our price $6.00 · SP $31.00 · Tom Madden

Maps beautifully from gate 1 as the likely leader, which is the profile Warrnambool heavy rewards most. His Donald fourth on Soft 7, when slowly away and three wide, was competitive. The Swan Hill capitulation is a concern, but the stewards' note of poor recovery plus the first-time cross-over nose band and tongue tie suggest connections identified and addressed a specific problem. Untested on heavy and carrying topweight, so he is a rank-two threat rather than the selection.

999th pickScratched
6Belle Flamme

Our price $5.50 · John Allen

First up after 144 days with no trial adds risk. Barrier 3 and John Allen give her every chance if she can travel closer, so place value only.

Value pickWon
1Captain Redbeard

Our price $3.60 · SP $2.60 · Declan Bates

Second up over 1400m with a Maher-Bates booking from gate 2 is the natural improvement point. The backmarker pattern on heavy Warrnambool is the genuine risk, hence each-way.

5Terralight

Our price $3.60 · SP $5.50 · Teodore Nugent

The most complete fit for Heavy 8 Warrnambool. Her heavy record reads 5 starts for 2 wins and a second, she has won and run second at this track in the past six weeks, and both runs saw her improve into the front two by the 400m — precisely the winning pattern here. Barrier 2 lets Nugent take a handy spot without pressure, and at 1400m she was beaten a nose by a fit rival last start. Weight is the only real query.

2nd pick9th
6Break The Taboo

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.00 · D Yendall

Add a cold jockey and 37 days off and she is short enough.

999th pickScratched
1Dubai Dancer

Our price $5.50 · Jade Smith

The proven course specialist with four wins here and three on heavy. Her July Casterton win over this trip on Heavy 8 is the key line. Barrier 11 and 59kg are genuine negatives, and she has faded late on soft tracks recently, which keeps her second rather than first.

Value pick7th
7Justibella

Our price $7.00 · SP $11.00 · Carleen Hefel

Every one of her three heavy-track runs has yielded a placing, including a nose second on Heavy 8 over this trip at Ballarat and a brave third here on Heavy 10 after losing a plate. She draws barrier 4, settles on-pace, and comes off a maiden win for a top stable.

4Cinnamon Kiss

Our price $2.30 · SP $2.05 · Ms L J Meech

Her heavy record reads 3:2-1-0 and gate 2 lets Meech, in outstanding form, take a soft trail. The 2kg rise and her habit of settling back are the only genuine concerns on a track favouring on-pacers.

2nd pick4th
6Empress Rossa

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.00 · Holly Durnan

Genuinely unbeaten in terms of the placings - a win and two seconds from three heavy-track starts, including a wire-to-wire win at Warrnambool last time. Her on-pace pattern is precisely what this circuit rewards in heavy going, and 55.0kg after the claim helps. Strong place claims rather than a confident win.

999th pickScratched
2Silver Cliff

Our price $7.00

Second up she reads 4:1-1-1 and her Heavy 10 fifth in a BM78 at Terang, where she was third at the 400m, is well above this level. Barrier 4 and the field's best early speed should have her in the winning zone by the turn. The slowly-away last start and general decline temper confidence.

Value pick3rd
10Imminent Storm

Our price $15.00 · SP $10.00 · Teodore Nugent

He is the only horse in the field with a track-and-distance win, holds a distance record of 2:1-1-0 and has placed twice from four heavy runs. Gate three lets Nugent, who strikes at 17% here and 33% for the stable, hold a forward spot on a track where the front three at the 400m dominate. First-up over a sharp 1200m is the risk.

13Three Reel Roses

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.50 · Damien Thornton

The most credible proven-conditions runner in the race. Heavy record 4:1-1-0. Thornton, who partnered that win, is back and drops her to 56kg. Last start at Murtoa she carried 59kg in lesser grade. Barrier 11 is the query but she has drawn wide and won before.

2nd pick5th
6Pianta

Our price $8.50 · SP $13.00 · Ms K Walters

A wet-track specialist in the best form of her career. Her last four starts read 1-2-3-1 and she won last start on a Heavy 10 despite racing wide without cover, which reads better than the bare margin. The wide barrier is the concern, but she has won from gate 11 in similar ground and habitually improves into the winning zone by the 400m.

999th pickScratched
11Chateau Dancer

Our price $4.50

Warrnambool on Heavy 8 is a front-half-of-field track where being outside the first four at the 400m is close to fatal.

Value pickWon
12Motiver

Our price $6.50 · SP $12.00 · D Yendall

From barrier 3 he should be second or third on the fence throughout, which is precisely the profile Warrnambool heavy rewards, and the moderate tempo means he will not be pressured. The Heavy 10 failure at Warrnambool is a warning, but today's ground is less extreme.

8Side Piece

Our price $9.00 · SP $17.00 · Tom Madden

The specialist. His last two runs were over 1400m and 2050m, neither ideal; today he returns to his best trip with the softest barrier he has had in months. The forecast fast tempo up front plays directly to his grinding, wet-track pattern. Big overs.

999th pickScratched
1Big Rooster

Our price $3.80

The most credible heavy-track profile in the race. That mid-race surge is precisely the winning shape this track demands in the wet. He drops a kilo, gains barrier 3 over last start's barrier 10, and maps to be far closer. The jockey booking is the one clear weakness, but the form case is strongest.

999th pickScratched
3Placentia Bay

Our price $7.50 · Declan Bates

Tactically the best-placed runner in the field. Barrier 1 with proven early pace lets Declan Bates dictate or stalk, and Warrnambool on heavy ground rewards horses in the front three at the 400m above all else. The reservation is genuine: he has never raced on heavy ground and 60.5kg in a bog is demanding. Placing looks his most likely outcome.

Value pick9th
17Treasury Place

Our price $13.00 · SP $12.00 · Neil Farley
