The Meadows Pa Race 1

1609m

Prize Money: $11,437

DOOBIE NIGHTS (5) scored two runs back then registered a commanding win last start, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another big race. GUITAR MAN (2) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 10 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MY FIRST FIRE (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. BROOKS (4) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on May 30.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth behind Guitar Man at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMNW6 on May 22 at $5.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Notorious Hanover at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMNW6 on May 30 at $5.80. The testing material off the pegs.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Notorious Hanover (1:52.00) in CDCLMNW6 on May 30 at $3.10. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a 0.6 m (Fr5) at this track (1:53.30) beating Brooks in CDCLMNW6 on May 22 at $2.60. One of the key runners.

Well beaten last start by Touchandgo Hanover, a rival who he faces again; when 130 metres ninth at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMNW6 race on May 16. Can't have on that basis.

Last start 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Notorious Hanover (1:52.00) in CDCLMNW6 on May 30 at $8.80. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.6 m by Guitar Man (1:53.30) in CDCLMNW6 on May 22 at $6.70. Sure to be about the money.

Four-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:56.20) beating Derek's Rocket in CDCLMW1NW4 on May 30 at $1.20. Hard to fault on recent form.
