Warrnambool Race 6 - Matko Hire (1-2 Wins) (300+Rank)
ASTON MAJOR (3) was below best last time when eighth at Bendigo but prior to that was a T3 RSTW winner in the quickest time on the card at Ballarat. Has the ability and expected to bounce back. CACKLING SUZIE (7) jumped cleanly and went straight to the lead, holding on for a place when second (25.60) at this track in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win over 450m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in the finish again. ASTON COSMIC (4) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (25.94), beaten 2.75 lengths. The form from his last run stacks up well. One of the main contenders. LITTLE BONT (1) is another with top-three prospects.

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished 4th over 450m at Ballarat beaten 2.75 lengths (25.94) behind Dazzling Dynamo in a T3 RSTW on May 11. Placed two back at Ballarat. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.
