The Meadows Race 5

Sportsbet (1-6 Wins) Ht1

Prize Money: $3,940

PAYBACK (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (34.88) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. Looks the one to beat on her best form. SUNSET WISP (5) missed the frame latest when eighth at Sandown (35.05) but scored five back at Sandown (29.52). Returns to favourable track. Has ability and can atone. POCKET MOUSE (2) was never in contention last time after losing her position early at Sandown, but prior to that won by a long neck at Sandown (29.51) beating Breakdown in a Grade 5 on January 20. Likely to be thereabouts. REIKO DUSTY (8) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (34.88) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from six starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 9 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at Sandown three back. Has ability but will need everything to go right.
