The Meadows Race 3

Sportsbet Final

Stake: $9,960

PAW ZELINI (7) is on a hot streak recording a 30.35 win over 525m at this track last start following on from a head turning 29.83 success at this track over 525m the start prior. Clocking fast times and looks a key chance again here. HOLDEN BALE (8) took the sit on the lead from an outside box but levelled up and drew clear to score (30.09) at this track in a Grade 5 H over 525m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can make it back-to-back wins. PAW VERNON (1) finished second last time (30.52) at this track after winning at his previous two outings. Bold showing expected. DOONGALLA SHANE (6) collected a minor prize last start and must be considered.

In the money last time at this track (30.52) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 2 length second. Is yet to miss the placings from this box, including three wins. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 525m at this track in a handy (30.38), beating Paw Vernon. Will find this a bit tougher, looking to others this time.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 5.5 lengths at Sandown (34.39) beating Paw Vince in a Restricted WIN H on April 14 five days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 525m at this track beaten a long neck (30.37) behind Paw Zelini in a Grade 5 H on April 9. In the money last time but has the job ahead.

Comments

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd on April 9 over 525m at this track behind Holden Bale beaten 5 lengths (30.44) in a Grade 5 H. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
