The Meadows Race 7

Grv Vicbred Series Ht4

Prize Money: $3,340

ABOVE THEM ALL (7) missed the hat-trick last start when seventh and beaten 9 lengths (26.64) last time at Geelong. Was a winner at her only start from this draw. Worth another chance. CHEEKY CHOMPERS (4) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 3.5 lengths at Sandown in a handy 29.38 beating Paw Vortex. Expecting another bold showing. ALFREDO (2) had second look this course and distance latest and improved on his time, finishing a 0.7 lengths second in 30.24. Has the ability and looks a key chance. INDY MELMEN (3) is a last-start placegetter when at the top of betting - in the mix again.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (38.31) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Boasts two wins and four places from six starts off the draw. Will need some luck to feature.

Solid performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at Sandown over 515m (29.38) beating Paw Vortex in Mix 3/4 on April 27. Still to win from this draw but has been in the placings four times. Top chance.

An excellent 19.24 for the 350m trip. Harder here and looks a place chance only.

Ordinary effort last start when seventh over 460m at Geelong. Prior to that won comfortably by 4 lengths at Bendigo (23.64) beating Not Again in a Grade 5 FIN on May 22. Won at her only start from this draw. Top chance to make it two from two.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.12) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and two places from four starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.
