The Warrnambool May Racing Carnival will come to a close on Thursday with another 10-race program set down for decision. The time-honoured Grand Annual Steeplechase (5500m) is the feature event, while the Listed Warrnambool Cup (2350m) takes top billing for the flat runners. Clear skies will keep the track in the Soft range, with the rail sticking to its true position once again. Grand Annual Day is set to commence at 11:15am AEST.
Grand Annual Steeplechase Tip: Rockstar Ronnie
Rockstar Ronnie looks extremely hard to go past as he seeks to defend his Grand Annual crown. Ciaron Maher’s nine-year-old gelding has been set for this race ever since taking it out 12 months ago, and that could hold the key. The son of Stowaway will likely be doing as he pleases out in front, and with just 67.5kg on his back, Will McCarthy can lead from barrier to box once again.

Warrnambool Cup Tip: Little Mix
Little Mix beat all but Esti Feny in the Listed Mornington Cup (2400m) on April 20 and looks poised to go one better in the Warrnambool Cup. The five-year-old mare draws to gain every favour in running from barrier two under Blake Shinn. The rain-affected deck should suit the Mahisara mare perfectly, and if the gaps come at the top of the straight, Little Mix should be dancing her way to Cup success.

Best Bet at Warrnambool: Our Sassy Lady
Our Sassy Lady couldn’t have been more impressive when scoring on debut at Sandown. Drawing perfectly in barrier four, the Ocean Park progeny can keep her undefeated start intact. The three-year-old filly offered a nice kick after racing outside the lead on that occasion, and considering she looks to be the only speed influence, Our Sassy Lady can lead from barrier to box.

Next Best at Warrnambool: Dashing Duchess
Despite drawing the carpark, Symon Wilde’s Dashing Duchess is a stayer on the rise and can return a winner at the ‘Bool. The four-year-old mare has three wins and a second from five career starts, and despite this being her toughest test, she looks more than up to the task. Barrier 20 is offset by her want to settle towards the rear of the field, but with a fast-run 2000m, Dashing Duchess can blouse her rivals.
