Warrnambool Race 9

Sportsbet Green Tick (1-2 Wins) (300+)

Prize Money: $1,530

PAW YARIS (1) found some support last start but struggled into sixth (27.07), beaten 6 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Should bounce back. THRILL SEEKER (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (26.25) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. PAW BALLISTA (8) stalked the lead from the inside draw before finishing third last start (23.08) at Geelong in T3 RSTW over 400m. Leading chance. LIVE FOREVER (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Comments

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last over 460m at Warragul beaten 6 lengths (27.07) behind Ski Boots in a Mix 6/7 on June 23. Placed two back at Geelong. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Last start finished 6th over 450m at this track beaten 9 lengths (26.25) behind Little Bont in a Mix 6/7 on June 25. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
