Warrnambool Race 6 - Leon Garner Memorial
FAYE VALENTINE (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage second (28.91) at Sale. Good form should continue. PAW ELODEE (3) sailed across from an outside draw last start to score an all-the-way win (25.64) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 over 450m. The form out of last race has been strong. Capable of going well again. SPANISH FAWN (1) steps out for the first time at this circuit. Comes here a last start placegetter at Bendigo in a Group Listed (24.06). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expected to be in the finish again. MADAM SERIOUS (7) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Won two starts back over 425m at Bendigo. Last start she finished 3rd in a Group Listed on July 3 over 425m at Bendigo behind Aston Aquitaine beaten 2.25 lengths (24.06). Draw likely to suit. Brought a two-start winning streak to an end last time with the minor placing. Expected to feature again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Ballarat over 450m in 25.64 last start, beating Imitated. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (26.00) over 450m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.
