Warrnambool Race 3 - Matko Hire (300+Rank)
LEKTRA KNIGHT (2) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot before finishing third (22.26) and beaten 5 lengths over 390m at this track. Deserves serious consideration. CAN DO GRACE (5) opened her account last time out by 2 lengths at this track over 390m (22.65). Expected to feature again. FRENCH BLONDE (1) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 390m behind Nebula Bale (23.08) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Should be in this for a long way. BROCKIE'S GOLD (7) can run a bold race on best form.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last over 390m at this track beaten 7 lengths (23.08) behind Nebula Bale in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on August 10. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 5 length third (22.26) over 390m at this track. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (22.97) over 390m at this track. Boxed out wide but is worth plenty of thought.
