Warrnambool Race 8 - Paddy Wants Pats (300+Rank)
GO PIKACHU (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (26.16) last time in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Has a strong record from box 1, including two wins. Has ability and looks hard to stop. TURN UP TURBO (8) hit the ground running from out wide and on speed early but faded and swamped late when 5th at Geelong in Rank Limit - Grade 5 company. In the mix. SPANISH FAWN (5) did a good job to finish second last time out over 500m at Bendigo (28.73) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. ULTRA PUB RUN (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (26.03) over 450m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but is in the mix.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.25 lengths second (28.73) over 500m at Bendigo and making it two placings on end. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.
