Warrnambool Race 9 - Matko Hire (2-3 Wins) (300+Rank)
PAW DIPPY (7) turned in a better effort at Geelong last start, finishing second behind Off The Beer (26.47) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Capable of going well again. CENTREFOLD SAL (4) finds it hard to break through. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (28.84) at Bendigo. Expected to be in this for a long way. DOONGALLA GLORY (1) was among the minors three back at Geelong then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 1 this time where she has won before. Expected to do much better this time. CRIKEY MATE (8) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 4 length fourth (23.92) over 410m at Horsham. This looks too tough.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 400m at Mt Gambier. Needs to find a bit more.
