Warrnambool Race 8 - Sportsbet Warrnambool Cup Ht3
DEWANA STAR (1) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 8 lengths at Warragul in a handy 25.44 beating No Iron Team. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. CRACKERJACK RALF (6) had been in top form scoring three consecutive wins before a minor placing (23.24) last time at Horsham. Tends to go well on this box draw. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. PAW MATIC (7) finished second last start over 450m at this track but was game in defeat in a fast 25.10. This is tougher but looks a leading chance again. MATT LOCH (2) has merit but will need to be at his best to take this out.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 8 lengths at Warragul (25.44) beating No Iron Team in a Mix 3/4 on April 14. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Ended last campaign with a eighth (26.69) in a SPEC at Hobart and returns after a four-and-a-half months break. Yet to win but has placed two of four runs fresh. Capable of playing a role in the finish.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at The Meadows over 525m in 29.99. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Happy to risk in this.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a quick 19.33 over 350m finishing second at Healesville. Warrants respect on latest.

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a 1.75 lengths second (23.24) over 410m at Horsham. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Good performance to win by a neck at Cannington over 520m (29.48) beating Deadly Avenger in OPEN on April 16. Other runners look much more appealing.
