Warrnambool Race 8 - Parma Pot Luck Deal At Wbl Greys
BLACK STAR RIOT (8) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 520m at Q Parklands, taking a Grade 5 in a quick 29.75. Can return to winning form here if runs up to time two back. MEPUNGA WHISKEY (1) scored by 4 lengths last time (29.45) in a Grade 5 over 515m at Sandown. Unbeaten in three runs from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. PAW ESTRELLA (7) has been in sparkling form recording back to back wins, the latest at Sale last time over 435m in (24.38). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Sure to be thereabouts. BLACK STATESMAN (2) is worth including after a top-three finish at big odds most recently.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sandown over 515m in 29.45 last start, beating Paw Welkes. Likes the rails so yet to be beaten in three starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Missed the frame when seventh over 450m at Shepparton in 25.69 fresh. Had been going well prior to a spell. Overall winning strike-rate moderate but rarely far away. This no easier and looks a place chance only.

Finished fourth (26.32) last start at Geelong. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Awkwardly drawn and needs to bounce back.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 515m at Sandown. This looks too tough.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at her last couple, most recently over 435m at Sale in a handy 24.38 beating Party Started. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
