Warrnambool Race 2 - Matko Hire
DREAM ON JUNIOR (7) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start sixth (22.66) at this track. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Looks the one to beat on his best form. BROCKIE'S GOLD (2) box seated off the lead and kept coming to win (22.67) at this track in Maiden over 390m. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. JIMMY THE RAT (1) filled a minor placing last start at Mt Gambier behind Lady Tsunade (17.78) in a TG1-4W. Has the pace to be prominent. The form out of his last race has been franked. Must be included in calculations. PAW VITALI (8) warrants respect following a recent placing over this course and distance.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 1.75 lengths third over 305m at Mt Gambier, clocking 17.78. Unbeaten in two starts from this box. Key runner.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 400m at Mt Gambier. Can't recommend in this field.

Showed good speed from box 8 on debut over 425m at Bendigo, leading throughout to score a half a length win (24.43). Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.
