The Meadows Race 5

Stake: $9,960

ORLI BALE (7) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at Geelong over 520m behind Giacomo (30.42) in a Special conditions H. Placed at his previous run. Has ability and is a key runner. NATALIE BALE (3) shapes well for this backing up an excellent 25.57 win with success at this track over 525m last time, recording 30.17. Expecting another bold showing. WERRIS BALE (4) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Geelong behind Mepunga Smokey (30.38) in a Special conditions H. Has the pace to be prominent. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Expected to feature again. HARVINGTON (1) cannot be underestimated.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (30.65) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 10 length seventh. Has two wins and four placings from 10 starts from the draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at her last couple, most recently over 525m at this track in a handy 30.17 beating In The Hub. In hot form and can take this out.

Comments

Was out of placings last time (30.36) at this track in a Grade 4, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.
