Warrnambool Race 9

Matko Hire (1-2 Wins) (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

PAW ZILLIE (2) had been going along well winning a Bottom Up - Maiden three back then placing at this track before missing the frame latest when fifth (22.95) at Geelong. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. LEKTRA EDGE (1) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (22.83) last time in a Bottom Up - Grade 6 at this track. Can figure in the finish. FADE OUT (8) pinged the lids from this draw last time and led throughout to win (24.42) at Bendigo over 425m in a Rank Limit - Maiden. Key chance on best form. BROCKIE'S GOLD (7) is not to be discarded.

Showing promise but missed the frame last start when fifth at Geelong. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Better than last run and looks set to run well.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in her races, Last start finished fifth over 390m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Not doing enough to be considered.

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (23.07) over 400m at Geelong. Tricky draw to overcome and looks safely held.

Backs up after winning by 1.5 lengths at Healesville (17.22) beating Aston Ostuni in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on August 5 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.
