The Meadows Race 10

Di Battista Real Estate

Stake: $4,075

PAR EXCELLENCE (7) was below best last time when eighth at this track but prior to that was a Grade 5 winner in the quickest time on the card at Sandown. Can make amends this time. KOPACKI RIT (2) has a strong overall record having three wins and seven places from 11 starts including a last start third (26.24) over 460m at Geelong. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. RIVERS MEET (6) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (29.32) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Sale. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Bold showing expected. WHISKY BELLA (4) will need to run right up to last start to feature again.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth over 525m at this track, beaten 5 lengths (30.51) behind Radar O'reilly in a Grade 5 on May 16. Prefer in something easier.

Latest effort finished 3rd on May 15 over 460m at Geelong behind Paw Zhana beaten 8 lengths (26.24) in a Grade 5. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 500m at Bendigo. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Solid performance to win by 3 lengths at Bendigo over 500m (28.11) beating Victory Yacht in Grade 5 on May 15. Can make it two on the bounce.

Was out of placings last time (29.32) at Sale in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Has never missed the frame from six starts from the draw, including a win. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
