Warrnambool Best Bet - Race 2 No. 3 El James

The four-year-old made a highly promising start to his racing career in finishing runner-up in a 1400m maiden event at this venue in October.

The pick encountered good 4 surfaces on each occasion with the form of his maiden success working out well with the fourth and fifth home both winning next time.

The gelding found the step up to this distance no issue when saluting by a length in a Benchmark 64 handicap held on a good 4 track at Ballarat when last in action November 14.

The selection raced over 1875m on a soft 5 track that day with the front two finishing four lengths clear of the third that day.

While the filly could finish only fourth over 2007m at Kilmore subsequently she broke through for her first win when racing on a good 4 track at Moe last time out.

The selection has gone on to place second over this course and distance on both subsequent outings including when runner-up under an apprentice here last month.

All four of the daughter of Kuroshio’s efforts this prep have come on a sound surface and any drying of the forecast soft 6 surface would be appreciated.

The New Zealand-bred mare won over 2000m when contesting a handicap even on a soft 5 track at Ballarat in September.

The pick jumped at $26 that day and went on to place third when contesting the Mortlake Cup over the same distance just under a month ago.

The grey came home six-and-a-half-lengths clear of her nearest pursuer having been ridden with restraint in the early stages of that contest.

The daughter of Charm Spirit finished strongly on that occasion in the style of a mare who is not expected to have any issues with the extra 800m she tackles here.

The selection had a number of rivals behind her that day and she looks capable of confirming that form to complete a double with Tom Ryan again set to ride.
