The Meadows Race 2

Westlink Container Sales

Stake: $9,664

BLUE FALCON (1) finished well back at Sandown last time when a 4 length seventh (30.14) but recorded second best time of the card when winning three back. Has a good winning strike rate at this journey. Boasts a strong record from this draw with four wins and two minor placings from eight starts. Ready to return to form. PAW GUNNER (8) has a strong record here with three wins and a minor from six starts. Missed the frame latest (30.40) when sixth over 525m at this track in a Grade 5. Suited here and expected to run well. LEO BALE (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.54) at this track behind Highly Connected in a Grade 5 H. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Form from his last run is proving strong. Expected to feature again. CABAO LAPIS (7) has top-three claims while fresh from a four months break.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.14) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length seventh. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and two places from eight starts. Key chance and should go close.

Dual acceptor. Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (30.54) over 525m at this track. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Last start finished sixth over 525m at this track, beaten 8 lengths (30.69) behind Michalis in a Grade 5 on December 7. Better off looking to others.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a sixth over 515m at Sandown. Happy to risk this time.

Had a low draw last time over 515m at Sandown but fell and went for a four months break. Rates a key player and gets chance to atone.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th over 525m at this track beaten 6 lengths (30.40) behind Maia in a Grade 5 on December 14. Placed two back at this track. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.
