Healesville Race 5 - Healesville Bowling Club
MEPUNGA EXPRESS (1) is a well performed sprinter ideally suited at the shorter trips. Found it a bit far latest when finished fourth over 515m at Sandown (29.80) in a Mix 3/4 but is better suited back in trip here. Has a strong winning record at this journey including one wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Should be very hard to beat this time. IAN ALBERT (2) was below best at his last couple but among the placings three back at this track where he ran quick time (19.39). Can turn it around this time. LOSE MY MIND (6) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (24.63) at Sale behind Myall Mate in a Special conditions Veteran race. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Winning chance. FAST LOVE (8) must be respected at his pet track and distance.

Missed the frame latest (30.22) when sixth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Has ability and should feature.
