Warrnambool Race 3 - Matko Hire
POWER AFFECT (4) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won three times from six starts. Below best last time at Shepparton (22.96) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Looks suited and should go close. BRAGGING RIGHTS (6) has missed the placings at his last couple but was in the money three back when third (22.28) at Ballarat in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. PAW ENNA (2) showed good pace from out wide and was prominent early but began to paddle and faded out of it when 8th at Sale in Grade 5 company. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. INGA AMY (8) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Modest effort last time out when fifth over 400m at Geelong. Happy enough to avoid.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.40) at big odds over 390m at Ballarat. Has a low draw but prefer the place this line-up.

Missed the frame last time when eighth (23.22) at this track. Prior to that had been racing well. Drawn a inside box but will need the right run to feature.

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Makes plenty of appeal on best and can easily atone here.

Has finished sixth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 11 lengths behind Aston Hamilton over 390m. Prepared to overlook.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, major threat on best form.
