Warrnambool Race 11 - Matko Hire (1-2 Wins) (300+Rank)
TAKE A SELFIE (7) led all the way last time out to score by 2.25 lengths (22.28) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 over 390m. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Can continue on her winning ways. GO HARRY GO (5) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (22.74) in a Mix 6/7 H at this track. Should play a prominent role. PAW VANCE (8) was out of the placings last time but recorded an impressive Maiden win (23.46) at Horsham three runs back. Key player on best and worth another try. COBRA (2) looks an each-way chance.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth in a T3 Grade 6 on April 20 over 390m at Ballarat behind Aston Francesca, beaten 4.5 lengths (22.75). Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 400m in 22.94. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 410m at Horsham at Restricted WIN level. Has claims on best form.

Unplaced in four tries at this track. Last start 8th over 390m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 390m in 22.28 last start, beating Go Harry Go. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.
