The Meadows Race 7

Di Battista Real Estate

Stake: $4,008

SPIRALLING (2) failed to feature last start after settling off pace at this track, but prior to that won by a head at Sale (28.94) beating Jumbuk Sachin in a Grade 5 on August 23. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from six attempts. Can bounce back. HI BIG BEN (1) missed the frame last time out when fifth at this track from Box four (30.79) but draws same box here as latest win. Should be about the mark. LITTLE MONKEY (8) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at Sandown over 515m behind Mepunga Willow (30.27) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Better than last start and can bounce back. XARA NAVY (4) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can turn the form around.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (31.09) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 14 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting four places from six starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 525m. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on August 24 over 515m at Sandown behind Mepunga Willow beaten 9 lengths (30.27). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Last start finished fourth on August 26 over 525m at this track behind Meteorology, beaten 7 lengths (30.53) in a Grade 5. Likely to find this a bit tough.
