For a second consecutive Sunday, racing heads to Warrnambool Racecourse where quite a competitive eight-race meeting is scheduled. Clear skies is the theme of the day, with perfect conditions racing forecast, with the track rated a Good 4. The rail comes out 3m from the 800m-300m which shouldn’t impact proceedings too much, with action getting underway at 1:30pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Warrnambool: Active Duty
The Lindsey Smith-trained Active Duty produced an eye-catching second on debut at Warrnambool on December 31, and on the quick seven-day back up he looks hard to beat. The three-year-old gelding settled towards the rear of the field on his debut run, and unleashes to go down by less then half-a-length. That was over 1400m on that day, so the step up to the 1700m seems a logical turning point for connections. Fred Kersley will need a touch of luck from barrier one, but if he can land a one-off position around midfield, then Active Duty should have too much in reserve for his rivals.

Next Best at Warrnambool: Loved Up Lawyer
Loved Up lawyer return with a runner-up performance at Bendigo on December 12, and based on what he has shown so far in his career, he looks to have found a winnable race on the weekend. Having been forced wide on the home turn, the son of Menari produced a strong finish to go down by a half-length in a field no harder than what he faces on Sunday. Dean Yendall will have him settled in a perfect spot from barrier three, and considering he finished just 1.5 lengths off Brave Mead as a juvenile, Loved Up Lawyer brings the right form lines.
Next Best
Race 8 – 
#11 Loved Up Lawyer (3)

Next Best Again at Warrnambool: Crackle ‘N’ Burn
Crackle ‘N’ Burn seemingly found the Terang 1200m a touch too sharp for his liking on debut, with the son of Crackerjack King slowly away before hitting the line with great intent. Another 100m, he arguably wins the race, so the step up to the 1400m on Sunday should suit Tom Dabernig’s runner perfectly. He showed a terrific turn of foot once in full flight, and with the long straight of Warrnambool and a genuine tempo expected, the race seemingly sets up perfectly for Crackle ‘N’ Burn to break maiden ranks at his second start.
Next Best Again

#5 Crackle ‘N’ Burn (5)
