Warrnambool Race 8

Parma Pot Luck Deal At Wbl Greys

Prize Money: $3,360

PAW SAPPHIRE (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (25.89) from Box 1 at Grafton over 450m. Has a strong record from box 1, including two wins. Looks the one to beat on her best form. AIR SPEED (6) continues to build a strong record, last start jumping favourite and hit the ground running, leading throughout to score (25.48) at this track in Grade 5 over 450m. Has a strong winning record here. Expecting another bold showing. CONTRADICTION (8) goes very well this trip starting 17 times for seven wins and five minors. Scored by 9 lengths last time (25.94) in a Grade 5 over 460m at Warragul. Suited here and expected to run well. PAW TARKOV (7) must be included in calculations.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 7th over 450m at Grafton beaten 7 lengths (25.89) behind Nangar Zara in a Grade 5 on June 20. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Won at this track over 390m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 450m at this track. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Missed the frame latest (25.80) when fourth over 450m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has two minors from four starts from box 7. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Comes off a (25.94) win last time, scoring by 9 lengths in a Grade 5 over 460m at Warragul. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Suited here and expected to run well.
