Warrnambool Race 3 - Matko Hire (1-2 Wins) (300+ Rank)
PAW ULA (2) was a winner two back when prominent throughout then got further back last time and could manage only a 3.5 lengths 7th at Shepparton (23.28). Has ability and is a key runner. RITA SKEETER (8) produced a modest effort most recently when eighth at this track over 390m behind Centrefold Sal (23.09) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Has the ability to give this a shake. ELSA ESCARGOT (4) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (22.85) at this track in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Has first look at box 4 this time. The form out of her last race has been franked. Will give a great sight again. CAN SHE YAP (7) can sneak into the finish while fresh.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 390m at this track. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.
