RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: The Warragul Cup features the heats and the Final on the same day and it is a very open heat to commence the program. TEST OF FIRE (9) produced a stunning performance at Ballarat, where he led throughout and scored by a large margin in a mile rate of 1.55.1. He prefers to race in the front running role so being drawn on the second line is a disadvantage but he looms as a strong winning chance again. KITZBUHEL DELIGHT (7) won the Nutrien Classic last season and he should be fitter after his first up performance, where he weaved a passage from last and finished a close up fourth. ALLGOOD VINNIE (6) is racing in career best form having been placed at his past eight attempts. He has been impressive at his past two winning attempts and is capable of taking the next step forward. HELLOVASTORY (8) is awkwardly drawn but is racing well enough to feature prominently. REALLY SMARTIE (5) and EVIL EYE (10) are both capable of showing up without surprising.
