The Meadows Race 5

Monty Cc Punters Club

Prize Money: $10,095

SHADE OF PALE (3) had been racing well prior to his last start sixth at Sandown following a Restricted WIN H win three back with a third placing. Likely to improve sharply this time. KIA KEEPING (7) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 6 lengths (34.70) at Mt Gambier. Expected to feature again. HECTOR DARCY (2) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (34.95) last time in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Has a good record here at this journey. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to his name from 10 starts. Has ability and can atone. ZIPPING ANDORA (6) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 10 lengths at Sandown. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (35.05) over 600m at this track. Drawn out wide but capable of a better result.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 600m at this track. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.
