The Meadows Race 5

Horsham To The Meadows Final

Prize Money: $9,055

WILL VANSON (2) scored a most impressive win at Horsham over 485m latest in a best of program time (27.25). Boasts five wins from six starts out of this box. Great chance again. CITY LIMIT (6) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when third (27.88) in a Grade 5 H over 485m at Horsham. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. BUN UNDERCURRENT (1) finds it hard to break through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (27.77) at Horsham. Overdue and expected to feature again. PAW PASADENA (3) should be thereabouts.

Placed last time (27.77) at Horsham in a Grade 5 H, finishing second and beaten 2.25 lengths. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks a key chance on best form.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Horsham over 485m in 27.25 last start, beating Urith Bale. Has a strong record from box 2, including five wins. Go close.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (27.67) over 485m at Horsham. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished third at Horsham in 27.88 last time but the start prior clocked a solid 28.15 over 500m finishing third at Bendigo. Should be in this for a long way.

Dual acceptor. Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 485m at Horsham. Other runners look much more appealing.
