Warrnambool Race 9 - Matko Hire Damsels Dash
DONITA BALE (1) flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2 length third (28.22) over 500m at Bendigo and making it two placings on end. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Capable of going well again. HATENNA BALE (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (24.29) in a Grade 5 NP at Bendigo. Solid record at the distance winning six races. Shapes as one to consider. ASPERITAS (7) struggled to get involved last start at Geelong, but prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at Ballarat (22.14) beating Mini Milky in a Grade 5 on January 1. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Key player if finds best. COLLINDA POPS (4) must be included in calculations.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2 length third over 500m Bendigo in 28.22. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 460m at Warragul in a handy (26.20), beating Smooth Ranger. Will find this a bit tougher, tempted to look elsewhere.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 0.9 lengths in 22.51, beating One Hand Clap. Last start finished 4th on January 12 over 435m at Sale behind Chalupa Batman beaten 8 lengths (25.08) in a Grade 5. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 390m in 22.11. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 400m at Geelong at Grade 5 level. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
