Warrnambool Race 9 - Wood Motorcycle And Mower
PAW GUSTO (7) is a well performed dog who recorded his 13th career win last time out at Ballarat (25.40). Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Hard to fault his form and he makes plenty of appeal. WAX AND WASH (5) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start sixth (19.67) at Healesville. Strike rate this distance strong having won five of nine tries. One of the better chances. PAW HAZELTON (2) hit the frame last time at Ballarat but just a few starts ago ran slick time when scoring over 450m at Ballarat in 25.21. Expected to feature on best figures. PADDY'S CHARIOT (1) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.
