Warrnambool Race 7 - Paddy Wants Pats (250+ Rank)
DOONGALLA ADAM (1) turned in a better effort at Geelong last start, finishing second behind Lektra Otis (26.25) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. One of the contenders. TRICKY DISCO (4) jumped from this same draw and was close to the lead throughout before boxing on well and holding a 1.75 lengths second (22.74) at Geelong over 400m in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Key chance on best form. BLUER THAN BLUE (8) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Has finished in the money at the last three runs. Has a good record at this journey. Hard to beat again. PADDY'S WAY (5) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Latest effort finished 2nd on September 1 over 460m at Geelong behind Lektra Otis beaten 4.5 lengths (26.25) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (22.74) at Geelong over 400m. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (25.79) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.
