Warrnambool Race 10

Prize Money: $3,360

SLICK IVAN (7) produced an impressive 21.96 to claim a Grade 5 over 390m at Shepparton last start. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. HOKKAIDO EXPRESS (6) got around the 390m at Ballarat to take a Grade 5 in a strong 22.16 for a 3.5 lengths victory. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. PAW HARKONNEN (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Scott Sigma (22.17) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. CLIFF THE BOSS (2) is not to be discarded.

Was out of placings last time (22.17) at Shepparton in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from four starts. Makes appeal on best.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (22.24) at Shepparton over 390m. Solid chance with even luck.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
