Warrnambool Race 11

Paddy Wants Pats (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

ASTON NIJINSKY (5) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and two minors. Placed last time (22.70) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths. Has the ability and should feature. CRUISING NAT (8) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Geelong over 400m behind Paw Pascal (23.32) in a Grade 5. Warrants plenty of respect. NAPIER BALE (4) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fifth (22.67) at this track in a Grade 5 NP. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. HENRY BALE (1) has claims again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (22.42) over 390m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but in the mix on his best form.

In the money last time at this track (22.70) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing a 1.3 lengths second. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Leading player.

Last start finished last over 400m at Geelong beaten 7 lengths (23.32) behind Paw Pascal in a Grade 5 on May 8. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to do much better.
