Warrnambool Race 2 - Mac's Hotel
PAW GELDOFF (5) did a good job to finish second last time out over 390m at Ballarat (22.53) in a Maiden, the second top-three finish on the trot. Key player on best and worth another chance. ULTRA PUB RUN (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (23.29) at this track behind Ada Blaze in a Bottom Up - Maiden. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Winning chance. PADDY'S WAY (2) is on debut without trialling for this. Expected to play a major role. LENSES DON'T LIE (3) is a Deb Carr-trained newcomer by Photo Man out of Eyes Don't Lie. Market should provide a lead to her ability.

Improved sharply when third behind Ada Blaze at this track last start over 390m (23.29). Right in the mix.

Is a four start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (22.53) over 390m at Ballarat. Has been in the placings at his last two starts. Expected to prove tough to beat.

Last start finished sixth over 390m at this track, beaten 9 lengths (23.16) behind Percy in a Maiden on January 29. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 2.25 lengths fourth (22.63) over 390m at this track. Leading contender.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Mt Gambier, the latest when beaten 6 lengths behind Platoon over 305m. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
