Warrnambool Race 8

Wood Motorcycle And Mower

Prize Money: $3,360

PAW GERTRUDE (6) was in the money last time at The Meadows (30.36) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.4 lengths second. Has already won three times from this draw. Looks a key chance on best form. PAW OLYMPUS (1) was in the minors two back (22.85) at Geelong but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Goes very well from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. One of the main contenders. PAW CHRISTIE (7) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at Sale in a handy 24.43 beating Mad Hatter Rose. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. In great form and can continue her winning ways. BRONZE (2) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (26.46) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length seventh. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from six starts. Looks a leading chance.

Was out of placings last time (26.39) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Has ability and should be around the money.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 450m at this track beaten 2.75 lengths (26.10) behind Paw Vada in a Grade 4/5 on July 30. Others make more appeal.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished second at The Meadows latest but prior to that recorded a handy 23.97 over 425m finishing third at Bendigo. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Lifted to win two runs back and got the cash again last start over 435m at Sale (24.43,) beating Mad Hatter Rose. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Comments

Was out of placings last time (30.44) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from 10 starts. Can hit the frame with the right run.
