Warrnambool Race 5 - Matko Hire (1-3 Wins)
FULL BORE DONNY (3) box seated before sticking on well to finish 6 lengths away in third (25.43) at this track in a Mix 6/7 over 450m. Can measure up this time. PAW OAKLEY (2) scored two back by a space in quick then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 6 length 4th at this track (25.49). Cannot be left out. REV KEN (4) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Has been in the money the last three starts, the latest when third (25.70) at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature again. NARINGAL LAD (6) is always a threat when he races at this track and distance.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished sixth in a Mix 6/7 on May 14 over 450m at this track behind No Stop Signs, beaten 13 lengths (25.95). Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Latest effort finished last over 450m at this track beaten 6 lengths (25.49) behind No Stop Signs in a Mix 6/7 on May 14. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 6 length third over 450m this track in 25.43. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at his last three starts, the latest when third (25.70) at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Has ability and should run well.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 11 lengths at Mt Gambier. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Ballarat. Looking to others this time.
