Warrnambool Race 6

Matko Hire (1-2 Wins) (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

DOONGALLA JASON (8) struggled to get involved last start after losing his position early at this track, but prior to that won comfortably by 32 lengths at Sandown (30.58) beating Mepunga Rocket in a Maiden on June 22. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. PAW QUADE (1) has missed the frame at his last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (23.24) at Geelong in a T3 RSTW. Can feature with the right run. MYSTIC PHARAOH (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (26.10) last time in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win at this track. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. DAD'S PLUM SAUCE (2) cannot be left out over a shorter journey.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished last on July 3 over 460m at Geelong behind Immobiliser beaten 14 lengths (26.50) in a Mix 6/7 H. Last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by half a length at Bendigo over 425m (24.82) beating Love Me in Bottom Up - Maiden on July 1. Sure to be about the mark.

Just been plugging away and needs to improve after being unplaced in three tries. Last start 6th over 500m at Bendigo. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
