Warrnambool Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

TAKE THE STEPS (2) has a strong record this trip with three wins and two placings from eight starts. In the money last time at Shepparton (22.35) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.5 lengths third. Looks a key chance on best form. PAW INGRID (1) is a last start T3 Grade 6 winner, jumping from this box and scoring a neck win over 390m at Shepparton. Goes very well from this same draw winning two races. Leading player again. PAW YAZ (6) is unbeaten here in three starts. Placed last time (22.54) at Shepparton in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. PAW VERITY (8) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish from this box.

Good effort to win last start by 5 lengths over 400m at Geelong in a handy (22.80), beating Silent Whisper. Will find this a bit tougher, others have better credentials.

Ran a better race when third behind Bree Cabang at Shepparton last start over 390m (22.54). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.47) over 390m at Ballarat. Drawn wide. Others preferred.
