Warrnambool Race 4 - Matko Hire (1-2 Wins) (300+ Rank)
LESTER RHODE (8) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (22.87) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win at this track over 390m. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Worth another chance. FRED'S FURY (3) hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 1.5 lengths (22.48) over 390m at this track. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expecting another bold showing. NALA'S MANTIS (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (22.80) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win at this track. Strong form has emerged from her last run. One of the main contenders. DIMORA STRIPEY (2) is building a nice sequence of placings and will be in the mix again.

Has finished fourth at her last three starts, most recently over 390m at this track. Is a danger.

Missed the frame latest (22.83) when fourth over 390m at this track in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Has one success and three minors from six starts from box 4. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Ballarat. Would be better placed in something easier.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 390m. Last start finished 5th in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on April 6 over 390m at this track behind Paw Whisper beaten 6 lengths (22.87). Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
