Warrnambool Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW NICKARA (5) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.59 beating Ben Shiraz. Has a tricky draw to overcome but in form and has the ability. Well placed and can measure up. PAW OLSON (2) has been in sparkling form scoring back to back wins, the latest by 1.5 lengths (22.43) over 390m at this track. One of main contenders. PAW OPPA (4) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Ascend Igloo (22.69) in a Grade 5. Must be included in calculations.
