The Meadows Race 10

Fernando Mick At Stud

Stake: $9,664

JOEY THE JET (4) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 3 lengths (25.10) at Ballarat. Has definite claims again. GAMBELLA (5) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from three tries. In the money last time at this track (29.78) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.2 lengths second. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. ALPHA ZULU (7) was out of placings last time (26.27) at Geelong in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths. Has four wins already from this draw.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 525m in 29.98. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 515m at Sandown at Free For All level. Prepared to overlook.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only second (29.78) at this track over 525m. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.

Dual acceptor. Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won comfortably by 6 lengths at Geelong (25.51) beating Idyllic Layla in a Grade 4/5 on December 5. Can't recommend against this lot.
