The Meadows Race 10

Sportsbet Australian Cup S/F4

Prize Money: $9,055

IRISH BILL (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (29.87) last time in a Special conditions race at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. MAV REIKO (5) shapes well for this after a scintillating last start success, getting around this track over 525m in 29.57. In form and looks a leading player again. NIGEL DEVERE (2) shapes well for this backing up a dominant 23.84 win with success at this track over 525m last time, recording 29.89. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent form. DAYSEA'S RORY (3) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Strong performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 1.5 lengths in a Special conditions race last start at this track, clocking a brilliant 29.89 for the 525m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 525m in 29.57 last start, beating Lakeview Lynette. Has run hot time here with a 29.57 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Hit the frame latest (29.99) when second at this track in a Special conditions race. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.
