The Meadows Race 3

We Stand With Tasmania

Prize Money: $3,340

BLACK RAIDER (1) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the money last time though when second (30.79) at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Likely to feature again. THANK YOU BRIAN (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (30.98) last time in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Can measure up this time. DOONGALLA PARODY (4) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (26.25) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Warragul. Can find the frame this time. IMPRESS CARTER (2) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 2nd in a Mix 6/7 on April 29 over 525m at this track behind Impress Carter beaten 1.3 lengths (30.79). Consistent performer from this draw. Top chance on best form.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (26.11) over 460m at Warragul. Awkwardly drawn but capable of a better result.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at Shepparton, the latest when beaten 9 lengths behind Paw Jerry over 450m. Happy enough to avoid.
