The Meadows Race 5

Just Fresh

Prize Money: $9,055

BRUTE FORCE (4) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and three placings from seven starts. Below best last time at Sandown (29.95) in a Special conditions race, finishing a 9 length fourth. Looks a key chance on best form. HOT NANU (6) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his quick 30.05 win at this track over 525m. Expecting another bold showing. PAW GERTRUDE (8) is better than last start when fourth (29.91) in a Special conditions G2 at Sandown over 515m. Yet to miss the placings in six runs from this box, including four wins. Should be about the mark. NEVER EVER LATE (2) defied the market to win last start and cannot be ruled out.

Has finished fourth at her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 525m. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 525m at this track in a handy (29.89), beating Hot Nanu. Was strongly supported last start and ran right away with it. Worth following up.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 8 lengths at Sandown. Form solid prior to that including a win at Geelong three back. Has ability but will need everything to go right.

Last start finished 4th on November 14 over 515m at Sandown behind Wyong Dallas beaten 9 lengths (29.95) in a Special conditions race. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an easy winner after leading throughout, scoring by 9 lengths in a Grade 5 H at this track and recording a strong 30.05 over the 525m journey. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (29.91) in a Special conditions G2, finishing a 7 length fourth. Is yet to miss the placings from this box, including four wins. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
