Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 11 Journalists Share Posted March 11 What Warrnambool Races Where Warrnambool Racing Club – 2-64 Grafton Rd, Warrnambool VIC 3280 When Tuesday, March 12, 2024 First Race 1pm AEDT Visit Dabble The jumps season kicks off for another year as three races over the obstacles headlines the competitive eight-race meeting on Tuesday afternoon. With plenty of warm weather in the lead up to the meeting, the track was rated a Soft 6 at the time of acceptances, with the likelihood of beginning on a Good track. The rail is out 6m the entire circuit, with action commencing at 1pm AEDT. Best Bet at Warrnambool: Active Duty It took a while for Active Duty to hit top gear when breaking his maiden at Terang over 1600m, but the way he hit the line over the final 100m suggests he has a bit of talent about him. The Lindsey Smith-trained three-year-old gained the gun run in transit, and despite needing virtually the whole straight to get there, he never really looked like getting beat on March 5. On the quick back-up, the National Defense progeny has found a weak BM64 to go on with the job. With a similar run in transit in the small field, Active Duty should prove too good for his rival. Best Bet Race 8 – #5 Active Duty (4) 3yo Gelding | T: Lindsey Smith | J: Fred Kersley (58kg) +130 with Picklebet Next Best at Warrnambool: Verbosity Andrew Bobbin’s Verbosity is deep into a campaign, and despite being well held at Stawell on February 22, his form prior reads perfectly against this BM64 field. The four-year-old gelding strung together handy victories in arguably stronger races three and four starts back, and a repeat of those efforts will be enough to score here. Will Gordon will hold the rail from barrier one, and in the small field of five, he will be on the tail of the leader throughout, and pounce late to score. Next Best Race 6 – #1 Verbosity (1) 4yo Gelding | T: Andrew Bobbin | J: Will Gordon (60.5kg) +135 with Dabble Next Best Again at Warrnambool: Instigator Instigator doesn’t win out of turn, but the veteran can break his Warrnambool duck when he lines up in the 3450m open class Steeple. Having had eight starts at the ‘Bool, Andrew Purcell’s 10-year-old has just three placings in those starts, but his trial leading into his jumps campaign suggests he is raring to go. He blew the cobwebs out at Ararat over 2200m on February 11, but his Terang trial win over the hurdles suggests a race like this is within his grasp. He will be stalking the speed throughout under Will McCarthy, and from there, Instigator should prove to be the superior jumper late on. Next Best Again Race 3 – #3 Instigator (7) 10yo Gelding | T: Andrew Purcell | J: Will McCarthy (71kg) +340 with Neds Tuesday quaddie tips for Warrnambool races Warrnambool quadrella selections Tuesday, March 12, 2023 1-4-6 1-2-3 2-3-4-5-7 3-5 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
