THE Allan and Jason Williams-trained Demonstrate can bounce back to winning form in the $151,000 Wangoom Handicap, the feature sprint on day two of the Warrnambool carnival.
Demonstrate won two straight before finishing fifth in the VOBIS Gold Sprint at Caulfield last start after being slowly away. The gelding looks well placed to hit back in the Wangoom.

NEXT BEST
FURRION (R7, No. 1, $2.70)
Another Darren Weir runner who has looked super impressive winning both of his starts. This is a tough race but he’s the one to beat.
THINK BABE (R10, No. 7, $2.90)
Drawn out which will be the place to be. Big effort when ran on for second to Princeton Spirit at Sandown Lakeside.
VALUE BET
DEMONSTRATE (R8, No. 8, $10)
He’s racing in great fashion for the Allan and Jason Williams stable. Slowly away and ran on strongly out wide for fifth behind Rich Charm in the VOBIS Gold Sprint last start, where he was beaten less than a length. Should get a nice run behind the speed and look for him to run on well.
THE TRAINERS
MATTHEW WILLIAMS
PERFONTIEN (R1, No.9, $41)
“He’s going better than last preparation but I think he wants a mile.”
LORD FLYNN (R2, No.3, $3.30)
“He was really good at Terang last start. I think he’s a great hope.”
BERNIE’S REGRET (R7, No.9, $34)
“He’s trained on well since his win at Ballarat but this is some race. He’ll be competitive.”
DANIEL BOWMAN
GOLD KRONER (R1, No.2, $101 )
“He was meant to run at Geelong last Sunday but I had to change his shoes. This is a strong maiden and he won’t find this easy.”
AEDESIA (R1, No.7, $18)
“She’ll need the run and wants 2000m.”
MANHATTAN ARCH (R7, No.5, $9.50)
“He’s a really smart horse who has been left in front too early at his past two starts. We’ll hold him up and he should go close.”
WORKING FROM HOME (R8, No.13, $13)
“Really excited about her being in this race. I’m not worried about her barrier as she has the speed to overcome it. She’s ready for this.”
