The Meadows Race 9

Meadows Conference & Events

Prize Money: $10,375

ETHANOL VOLUME (7) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and four minors from 10 tries. Comes off a (34.15) win last time, scoring by 5 lengths in a Free For All over 600m at this track. Looks suited here and rates on top. TULLY LUNA (1) ran good time (34.49) when second last start over 600m at this track, the second placing in a row. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. MEPUNGA SURPRISE (4) missed the frame latest when eighth at Geelong (39.68) but scored five back at this track (34.90). Has a solid record over this journey. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from four starts. Must be included in calculations. UPSET SUNSET (5) racing over this course and distance brings the best out in her.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 5 length second at this track but did record a fast 34.49 over the 600m journey. Expected to push the clock again here.

Was out of placings last time (34.43) at Sandown in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Has three successes and four minors from eight starts from box 2. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (34.37) over 600m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 600m in 34.46. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 600m at this track at Free For All level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Scored by 5 lengths last time (34.15) in a Free For All over 600m at this track. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from seven starts. Makes strong appeal.

Strong performance to post a big 4 lengths win at this track over 600m (34.28) beating Paw Erina in Grade 4/5 on April 19. Happy to risk this time.
