The Meadows Race 4

Gap (300+Rank)

Stake: $4,728

BOUNDING CHIEF (8) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing second (30.25) at Sandown. Likely to feature again. DON'T TELL DANNI (1) rises out to this distance for the first time. Has a good record from this box, including a win. Makes strong appeal on best. TAWNY TEARS (2) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (35.56) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Cannot be underestimated. LIGHTNING HUNTER (3) is new to this course but cannot be left out.

Is back up to 600m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when fourth over 460m at Warragul six days ago. This looks too tough.
