Warrnambool Race 8 - Paddy Wants Pats
DOONGALLA SHANE (8) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Geelong behind Paw Drogo (26.15) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Sure to be about the mark. FLEETWOOD EROS (7) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in his sharp 27.23 win at Horsham over 485m. Must include on winning run three back. SOMETHING GOOD (1) hit the ground running and was prominent to the turn but faded out of it when 5th at this track in Grade 5 company. Better than last start and can bounce back. PAW LAMPADES (2) is another with top-three prospects.

Missed the frame latest (25.73) when fifth over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from eight starts. Makes strong appeal.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Bendigo (24.19) beating Winter Goes in a Grade 4/5 on January 20. Can't make much of a case this time.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 460m at Geelong clocking 26.15. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.
