Warrnambool Race 3 - Matko Hire
NAUGHTY NORM (4) was out of the placings when fourth last time but prior to that ran a superb 22.10 win over 390m at this track. Can return to winning form here if runs up to time two back. SOMETHING GOOD (1) hit the ground running last start and was never headed (22.46) at Geelong in Rank Limit - Grade 5 over 400m. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of the key runners again. SPECIAL TEAMS (2) hit the ground running off an inside draw last start and was never headed (23.12) at Horsham in a Grade 5 over 410m. Form from her last run is proving strong. Will go close again if runs up to latest. LEKTRA BILLS (7) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 22.46 when a 2 length winner over 400m at Geelong. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Horsham, recording an outstanding 23.12 over the 410m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Did a good job two starts back at Horsham to win by 1.75 lengths in 23.33, beating Aston Torta. Last start finished 4th on December 21 over 305m at Mt Gambier behind Aston Blend beaten 5.5 lengths (19.03) in a Grade 4/5. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior he clocked a hot 22.10 over 390m finishing second at this track. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Free For All on December 30 over 410m at Horsham behind Motion Sensor beaten 2.5 lengths (23.52). Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished last on December 18 over 390m at this track behind Naughty Norm beaten 8 lengths (22.66) in a Mix 3/4. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.
