Warrnambool Race 3 - Matko Hire
LOVE BUG GIBLET (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a one length second (22.31) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. The form from her last run stacks up well. Can go on with it. SKY EAGLE (4) won by 2.5 lengths last start at Geelong 400m in a decent 22.61. Has the ability and looks a key chance. THOR LEGEND (5) prominent throughout and boxed on soundly to finish in the minors when third (25.82) at Ballarat in Mix 6/7. Failed to fire only run here. Bold showing expected. BROTHER BUB (7) collected a minor prize last start and must be considered.

Won two starts back over 390m at this track. Last start she finished 2nd over 390m at this track beaten one length (22.31) behind Paw Kacey in a Mix 6/7 on October 8. Draw likely to suit. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

On debut last start won by 2.25 lengths at Traralgon (20.22) beating Bao Bun in a Maiden H on September 25. Will find this tougher so looking elsewhere.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 400m at Geelong by 2.5 lengths in a Maiden. Can make it two on the bounce.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.25 lengths third over 450m Ballarat in 25.82. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 400m at Geelong. Others hold stronger claims.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 6 at Mt Gambier when a 4 length third but did run a fast 17.68 over the 305m journey. Can measure up with a repeat of latest.
