Warrnambool Race 5

Macey's Bistro

Stake: $3,159

RIVERS MEET (2) is a last start placegetter (22.75) at Geelong off the rails draw, finishing third and beaten one length. Failed to fire only run here. Expected to feature in the finish again. PAW NEBRASKA (1) has been out of the placings at her last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (23.18) in a Mix 6/7 FIN at Horsham. Rates a winning chance on best. ASTON SUSHI (5) tackled far tougher grade latest when finishing 5th over 390m at Shepparton. Was a Ballarat winner in lesser company the start prior. Expected to give a good account. SWIFT GIFT (6) cannot be left out over a shorter journey.

Last start finished 3rd on June 6 over 400m at Geelong behind Holyfield Chic beaten one length (22.75) in a Mix 6/7. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when second (23.68) over 400m at Mt Gambier. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Has to do a bit more.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Ballarat over 390m. Last start finished 5th on May 26 over 390m at Shepparton behind Aliir beaten 10 lengths (22.61) in a Mix 6/7. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Was out of placings last time (35.44) at Sandown in a Restricted WIN, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Has ability and should be around the money.
