The Meadows Race 7

Prize Money: $3,940

LANFRANCO (2) finished fourth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 525m at this track, taking a Grade 5 in an outstanding 29.86. Hot win two back and looks the one to beat here. MICHIGAN GIRL (7) finished in the minors last start over the 600m at this track but ran a solid 34.45 last start. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. VIRAT (3) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at this track over 730m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to be in this for a long way. TAPPET (1) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (30.52) at this track. Drops down the inside box this time. Has ability and should run well.

Latest effort finished 4th on December 5 over 595m at Sandown behind Mahogany beaten 2.5 lengths (34.49) in a Grade 4/5. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Looks close to another win after his success on November 2 at Sandown over 595m. Last start was third over 730m in 43.54, behind Romantic Red. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 460m at Geelong. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Was a winner three back at Sandown then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when eighth (34.88) at Sandown. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.

Hit the frame latest (34.45) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Makes strong appeal.
