The Meadows Race 9

Stake: $3,874

MY MATE LEO (5) was in the money last start when second in a Mix 6/7 in 30.30, clocking one of the quickest times on the card and a personal best this course and distance as well. Happy to have him on top here. VICTORY YACHT (1) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a long neck second (30.65) in a Mix 6/7 FIN at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. CHEEKY STREAK (8) ran below best last time finishing sixth (31.08) over 525m at this track in a Mix 6/7 FIN. Key runner on best form. ZIPPING VETTORI (3) is new here but can play a major role.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching six minors in a row. Has a low draw but will need to find best.

Comments

Caught the eye on debut when charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (22.80) over 400m at Geelong. Used the inside gate to advantage and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 3.5 lengths win at Geelong over 400m in 22.80. Harder here but expected to measure up if runs up to debut effort.

Hit the frame latest (24.74) when third at Sale in a Mix 6/7. Goes very well from the draw boasting 12 places from 16 starts. Will need some luck to feature.
