Warrnambool Race 6 - Matko Hire
SOLICIT (1) was in the placings last time but prior to that he ran a head turning 25.09 win over 450m at Shepparton. Rates on top and can find winning form again. PAW ROXY (5) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Par Excellence (25.20) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to be in the finish again. LEKTRA BETA (2) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 2.5 lengths away in fourth (25.42). Was in the money the start prior. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. One of the main contenders. PETE'S ENTITY (7) did a good job to finish second last time out over 450m at this track (25.39) in a Grade 4/5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (25.42) at this track over 450m. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
