Warrnambool Race 5 - Matko Hire
LUMINAIRE (8) charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (25.56) over 450m at Shepparton. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Hard to go past. VESTA BALE (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at Ballarat over 450m. Hard to beat again. HOOKED AND HAPPY (1) jumped cleanly and went straight to the lead, holding on for a place when second (25.78) at this track in a Restricted WIN over 450m. Got the money at his only try from this box. Expected to be in the finish again. ASTON BERRY (7) should be thereabouts.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (25.78) at this track over 450m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Hit the frame latest (25.78) when second at Ballarat in a T3 RSTW. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Missed the frame last start when a 14 length eighth (26.72) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (26.17) over 460m at Geelong. Has a squeeze box to navigate and appears tested on latest effort.

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by a nose in 24.15, beating Sugarcane. Last start failed to finish the race over 425m at Bendigo on June 5. Major threat on best form.

Solid performance to post a big 5 lengths win at Shepparton over 450m (25.56) beating Critically in Maiden on June 4. Can make it two on the bounce.
