Ballarat Race 8 - Grv Vicbred Distance Series Fnl(0-4 W)

MEPUNGA VELVET (5) jumped wide and had a clear run last start, leading all the way to score (38.30) at this track in a Restricted WIN H over 660m. Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. Well placed and will be tough to beat. EMERALD DOWNS (3) was well back throughout but attacked the line strongly to score by 1.3 lengths (38.53) at this track in Restricted WIN H. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Will go close again if runs up to latest. FAST REPLY (1) settled back off the inside but went through his gears strongly to find the frame with a 4.5 lengths second (38.59) at this track in Restricted WIN H. Can measure up. ONE FEATHER (2) placed last time (38.61) at this track in a Restricted WIN H, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw.

Won two starts back at Mt Gambier over 600m in 34.93. Followed that up with a minor placing over 660m at this track at Restricted WIN H a week ago. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.
