The Meadows Race 5

Sportsbet Final (1-6 Wins)

Prize Money: $10,375

MEPUNGA PHANTOM (2) is a strong stayer well performed over the longer races. Was in the money last time (34.63) over 600m at this track in a Restricted WIN H. Has never missed the frame at the trip from four starts. Makes plenty of appeal. LADY RAPID (1) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Restricted WIN H winner three back (34.57) at Sandown over 595m. Can turn it around this time. REGAL SPENCER (7) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Was out of placings last time (34.91) at this track in a Restricted WIN H, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Good effort last time when third (34.71) over 600m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.

Solid performance to win by a neck at this track over 600m (34.58) beating Mepunga Rule in Restricted WIN H on July 29. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
