The Meadows Race 3

Fireball Ht1

Prize Money: $10,375

WITHOUT A TRACE (8) goes very well at the course and distance with four wins and a placing from six starts. Hit the frame latest (41.55) when third at Q Parklands in a OPEN. Looks suited and should go close. AMRON TOY (1) impressed on both occasions winning in best times, 30.57 latest and 34.40 two back. Some good form is emerging from his last run. One of the prime contenders. MEPUNGA BREEZE (2) finished fourth last time (41.72) at Q Parklands after winning at his previous four outings. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Better than last start and can bounce back. SLICK NITRO (7) was below best last time at Sandown (42.64) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth. Has already won two times from this draw.

Won two starts back at Q Parklands over 710m in 41.28. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 710m at Q Parklands at OPEN level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (35.42) in a Free For All, finishing a 10 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks a place chance at best.
