Warrnambool Race 7

Matko Hire

Prize Money: $3,360

PAW CORNELIUS (4) quickly into stride to win over the 450m at Ballarat two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing second at Shepparton last start. Must come into calculations. TRIBECA (2) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4 lengths (25.04) at Shepparton. Rates a leading chance again. LEKTRA SOLO (1) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner three back (25.50) at this track over 450m. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. GALENTO (6) jumps at a shorter journey and still warrants respect.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 4 lengths victory in a Free For All last start at Shepparton, clocking an outstanding 25.04 for the 450m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Placed last time (16.74) at Healesville in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten half a length. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from nine starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (25.24) at Shepparton over 450m. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.25 lengths in 25.44, beating Paw Drogo. Last start finished last on February 12 over 515m at Sandown behind Lamia Wheeze beaten 8 lengths (30.35) in a Grade 5. Looking to others this time.
