Warrnambool Race 3

Matko Hire

Prize Money: $2,925

RIGHTEOUS FURY (6) was a little disappointing last start at this track when 5th (22.73) over 390m. Has won here at this journey. Can make amends. LIGHTNING JEWEL (2) could manage only second at this track last time but caught the eye when posting a fast 23.29 over 410m at Horsham the start prior. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. AEROPLANE MODE (1) goes very well here including three wins. Was out of placings last time (22.21) at Shepparton in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. FLYING DAMIRO (8) won in the best time of the program last time out. Must be respected.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 390m at this track. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing fifth (22.47) at this track. Tricky draw to overcome and appears tested on latest effort.

Won over this track and trip. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on February 5 over 390m at this track behind Scott Sigma beaten 10 lengths (22.73). Missed the frame last time but prior to that had three placings in a row. Deserves another chance.

Impressive performance tracking the speed and going on to score by a head in a Grade 5 last start at Ballarat, recording a handy 22.19 over the 390m journey. Expecting another bold showing.
