The Meadows Pa Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $25,281

MOMENT IS HERE (1) is racing well with six top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Northfield Park over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Tackles a similar assignment and he can add to the impressive recent record. TIMEISONMYSIDE (6) had to call on all reserves to score last start over 1609m at this track, getting home by just a neck. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. BUCKEYEBOLLINGER N (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m. LITENINGONTHEBEACH (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Northfield Park.

Solid performance when a close third behind Timeisonmyside at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on February 20 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Helium at Northfield Park over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on March 1 at $6.20. In the mix from the inside draw.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 14 m by Helium (1:52.10) in OPEN HCP on March 1 at $12.90. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:51.30) beating Trumpster Blues in NW9500L4 on February 20 at $1.30. Should be right in the finish.

Five-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a neck (Fr6) at this track (1:51.00) beating Charlie May in OPEN HCP on February 20 at $3.80. Going very well and deserves top billing.
