Warrnambool Race 8

Grv Distance Racing

Stake: $4,373

ASTON BARTON (4) got the job done again after leading them home recording back to back wins at The Meadows over 600m (34.06). Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Form reads well for this. TURN THE TIDE (5) ran a handy 34.31 when filling a minor placing over 600m at The Meadows last start. This is tougher but expected to be in the finish. STACY'S MUM (2) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 2 lengths (36.84) at Sale. Rates a leading chance again. PAW GRADY (3) will have admirers again after placing from the same draw last time out.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (34.88) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length sixth. Has four successes and four minors from 12 starts from box 8. Tough field and looking to others this time.
