Warrnambool Race 11 - Mac's Hotel
STAR FURY (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (22.60) in a Grade 4/5 at Shepparton. Got the money at his only try from this box. Has ability and looks hard to stop. WILLOW'S GIRL (2) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at this track over 450m behind Blue Labubu (26.01) in a Grade 4/5. Likely to be about the money. TICK RETURNS (5) had been in super honest form hitting the frame six times on end before finishing fifth (24.94) at Sale last time. Solid record at the distance winning seven races. Expected to feature in the finish. MOONLIGHT GRAND (3) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Grade 5 on March 1 over 435m at Sale behind Dr. Leviate beaten 10 lengths (24.94). Placed two back at Ballarat. Recorded six placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.
