Warragul Race 9

Viatek Damsels Dash

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW XENA (8) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 2.75 lengths (21.97) at Warrnambool. Rates on top again. TALK THAT TALK (3) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Mix 6/7 H winner three back (29.81) at Sandown over 515m. Well placed here and should do much better. PERSUASION (1) hit the ground running off an inside draw last start and was never headed (22.72) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. PAW ERINA (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 22.81. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at Ballarat at Grade 4/5 six days ago. Has ability and can run well.

Was the fastest winner on the program after running them ragged making it three on end at Warrnambool over 390m (21.97). Looks suited and should go close again.
