Warrnambool Race 11 - Matko Hire Veterans (200+ Rank)
NINETEEN CRIMES (7) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 390m behind Motor City Sam (22.97) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and can atone. SPRING BRUMBY (1) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the money last time though when third (22.66) at Geelong. Has a good record here at this journey. Can feature again. BREAKDOWN (2) placed last start at big odds and is in the mix again.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.66) over 400m at Geelong. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (24.19) at Bendigo over 425m. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.98) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from 13 starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on January 22 over 390m at this track behind How Delightful beaten 2.75 lengths (22.62). Needs to find a bit more.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.3 lengths in 25.61, beating Talcott Bale. Last start finished 6th over 460m at Geelong beaten 6 lengths (26.16) behind Prison Break in a Grade 4/5 on January 23. Is a danger.

Latest effort finished last on January 22 over 390m at this track behind Motor City Sam beaten 9 lengths (22.97) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
