Warrnambool Race 6 - Matko Hire
CONTRADICTION (8) is a progressive dog who scored his 3rd career win last time at Ballarat, scoring by 7 lengths (25.30). Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Looks the one to beat. REGAL BARRY (6) did a good job to finish third last time out over 450m at this track (25.76) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Expected to do much better this time. PAW FUNK (2) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (24.83) at Sale in a Grade 5. Can find the frame this time. REUBEN HILL (4) has claims fresh from a recent placing at this track and distance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.60) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths sixth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (25.86) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks a place chance at best.
