Warrnambool Race 4

Prize Money: $3,360

RED NOSE (3) found trouble in the run here last time and fell. Rates a top chance on best. ASTON FUMIKO (1) has a strong record this track and trip with four wins and two placings from nine starts. Recorded a 3 length win (22.46) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. NAUGHTY NORM (7) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start sixth (22.96) at Geelong. Form here sound including eight wins. Expected to feature in the finish. PAW LAMPADES (2) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 390m in 22.46 last start, beating Aston Scanner. Likes the rails so looks the one to beat again.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (23.72) at Horsham over 410m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Comments

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (22.36) over 390m at this track. Boxed out wide but is among the better hopes.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
