Warrnambool Race 3

Matko Hire (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

SWANKY FRANKY (7) was quickly into stride and burnt early from the middle draw where he gave a sight, finishing second (22.37) and beaten 6 lengths over 390m at Ballarat. Key chance in this line up. WATCH IT (1) was in the minors two back (23.52) at Geelong but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. The form out of last race has been strong. Must be included in calculations. TAKE A SELFIE (2) turned in a moderate performance last time when seventh at Geelong over 400m behind Three Votes Nick (24.00) in a Maiden. Worth another chance. THUNDERING THEO (3) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished last over 400m at Geelong beaten 14 lengths (23.68) behind Red Eye Samurai in a Bottom Up - Maiden on February 3. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Was lining up for just the second time last start when he finished third over 400m at Geelong. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Missed the frame latest (23.08) when sixth over 390m at this track in a Bottom Up - Maiden. Starts from box 6 for the first time here. Looks one of the chances.
