Warrnambool Race 4 - Matko Hire
LETA LESTRANGE (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (23.34) last time in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 at this track. Has ability and is a key runner. ASTON ASTUTE (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (23.59) last time in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 at this track. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. POWER AFFECT (1) last appeared when too good (24.83) over 425m at Bendigo on October 15. Resumes after finishing seventh (24.83) at Bendigo over 425m nine weeks ago. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. ASTON TELMONT (3) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Resumes from a nine weeks spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing third over 300m at Healesville. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing fifth (22.97) at Ballarat. Aided by a low draw but will need a little luck to feature.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 2 lengths at this track (22.58) beating Guardian in a Maiden on December 1. Likely to find this a bit tough.
