Warrnambool Race 9

Matko Hire (2-3 Wins) (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

PAW DIPPY (7) turned in a better effort at Geelong last start, finishing second behind Off The Beer (26.47) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Capable of going well again. CENTREFOLD SAL (4) finds it hard to break through. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (28.84) at Bendigo. Expected to be in this for a long way. DOONGALLA GLORY (1) was among the minors three back at Geelong then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 1 this time where she has won before. Expected to do much better this time. CRIKEY MATE (8) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Missed the frame latest (27.14) when seventh over 460m at Geelong in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Has never missed the placings from four starts off this box. Has ability and should be around the money.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 4 length fourth (23.92) over 410m at Horsham. This looks too tough.
