The Meadows Race 12

We Stand With Tasmania

Prize Money: $3,340

VINTAGE KING (8) had a low draw latest where he found trouble and fell over 500m at Bendigo. Has the ability and can bounce back. PAW HARRY (1) struggled in tougher grade last start after drifting back at Bendigo, but prior to that won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at Shepparton (25.78) beating Soda Ben in a Grade 5 on April 10. One of the better hopes. PACIFIC POPPY (2) is having her first look at this circuit. In the money last start when second (26.80) at Warragul over 460m. Has a strong record from box 2, including two wins. Bold showing expected. MISS SOOKY (4) dominated last start. Right in the mix.

Comments

Ordinary effort last start when he was slow out over 500m at Bendigo. Prior to that won easily by 4.5 lengths at Shepparton (25.78) beating Soda Ben in a Grade 5 on April 10. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Improved sharply when second behind Excavator Ticket at Warragul last start over 460m (26.80). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 1.75 lengths win at Healesville over 350m in 19.74. Looks a solid contender.

Comments

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished fifth over 730m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Likely to struggle this time.
