Warragul Race 8 - Grv Distance Racing
PAW FORTRESS (1) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the money last time though when second (42.26) at Sandown. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Must come into calculations. LAKEVIEW PEAR (2) is having his first run over this longer distance. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten one length (34.76) at Sandown. Looks a key chance on best figures. BANDIT SWAGGER (4) stretches out further in journey and is having his first try at the trip. Goes well from this draw, including a win. Looks suited here and can measure up. TRUMPET TEARS (3) is new here but should be in the mix.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 6 length sixth over 715m at Sandown. Others have better credentials.
