Warrnambool Race 5 - Grv Vic Bred Series Ht2

MEPUNGA WILLOW (4) is progressing well claiming her 2nd career win latest, scoring by 5 lengths (30.53) at The Meadows. The hardest to beat again. STAR NOTE (3) shapes well for this on his superb win a few runs back, getting around The Meadows over 525m in 29.85 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. CRUISE COMMANDER (2) ran below best last time finishing seventh (30.89) over 525m at The Meadows in a Mix 6/7. The form from his last run stacks up well. One of the better chances. GAMORA BALE (8) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (25.44) at Ballarat over 450m. Capable of playing a big role.
