Warrnambool Race 5 - Matko Hire (300+ Rank)
LEKTRA EDGE (6) has missed the placings at his last couple but was in the money three back when third (17.82) at Mt Gambier in a Grade 6. Can make amends this time. CLAVICLE (3) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.38 beating Tin Lids. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to measure up again. ROSE CHAMPAGNE (8) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 390m behind Ms. Florence (22.99) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Shapes as one to consider. PAW ERIS (1) can find the frame without surprising.

Missed the frame last start when a 11 length fifth (23.16) at Geelong. Previous form sound including a win three back at Geelong. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Was out of placings last time (21.34) at Traralgon in a Restricted WIN, finishing eighth and beaten 12 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (23.50) over 390m at this track. Jumps from the outside. Looks tested in this line-up.
