Warrnambool Race 6 - Matko Hire
MAN OF COURAGE (3) goes very well here starting five times for two wins and two minors. Comes off a (22.00) win last time, scoring by 1.1 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 390m at Ballarat. Rates on top and should go close. ASTON AURELIA (1) has a strong record this journey here with three wins and a minor from five starts. Was out of the placings last time (26.82) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing seventh and beaten 24 lengths. Can feature with the right run. ASTON KING (4) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and two minors from seven tries. Hit the frame latest (23.26) when third at Mt Gambier in a OPEN. Looks well placed here and among the chances. MOTOR HEAD MAXIM (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Was among the placegetters latest at Mt Gambier when a 4 length third but did clock a fast 23.26 over the 400m journey. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Could only manage eighth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (25.56) over 450m at Shepparton. Tough draw to overcome and looks safely held.
