Warrnambool Race 11

Matko Hire Damsels Dash

Prize Money: $2,925

PRETTY PIPA (2) was well supported last time but could only manage second (22.34), beaten a neck. Top prospect. BONNIE BLITZ (7) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and five minors from 12 tries. In the money last time at this track (22.16) in a Grade 5, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Looks a key chance on best figures. CANYA MAROONS (4) was out of in the placings when fourth last time but prior to that ran a swift 25.89 win over 460m at Geelong. Must include on winning run two back. BUSH CIRCUS (1) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Missed the frame latest (29.83) when fourth over 515m at Sandown in a R/A FIN. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 0.8 lengths second but did record a sharp 22.16 over the 390m journey. Looms as the one to beat this time.
