Warrnambool Race 5 - Cassign Design

MERL'S LAD (1) recorded one of the quickest times on the card this course and distance last time, finishing second in a Mix 6/7 in 25.19 and a new PB here. Rates a top chance if runs up to latest. ASTON DARWIN (7) jumps from box 7 for the first time after scoring at this track (25.35) in a Mix 6/7. Has a strong winning record here. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Significant danger. MAGIC MILEY (2) is a smart beginner who has shown good improvement at her last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 390m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Will go close again if runs up to latest. PAW TORRIE (3) will give backers a sight.
