Warrnambool Race 4

Broad Tree Care

Stake: $3,218

PAW FUNK (5) is an honest type who is new to this track. Scored from box four last time winning by one length at Ballarat (25.25). Has hit winning form and can go on with it. PURPLE SAPPHIRE (2) comes off a good 25.18 placing at Ballarat over 450m. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. MINH DESTROYER (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (31.43) in a Mix 6/7 FIN at The Meadows over 525m. Has ability and can measure up. MORNING (6) was a debut winner and can measure up with a repeat.

Latest effort finished 5th in a Mix 6/7 FIN on March 29 over 525m at The Meadows behind Lamp Post beaten 22 lengths (31.43). Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Hit the frame at Ballarat last time when a 1.2 lengths second but did record a slick 25.18 over the 450m trip. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Has a low draw but will need the breaks to go his way.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 400m at Geelong. That followed a win two back in 22.23 beating Reiko Surge over 390m at Ballarat. Others hold stronger claims.

Strong performance to win by one length at Ballarat over 450m (25.25) beating Paw Inflame in Maiden on March 26. Looks to have an edge on most of these.

Made considerable ground after settling back on debut. Won by 2 lengths at this track (25.77) beating Regal Spencer in a Maiden on March 27. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Backs up after winning by a neck at Geelong (23.23) beating Nevermind in a Maiden on March 29 five days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (25.63) at this track over 450m. Racing well and can find winning form again.
