The Meadows Race 8

Ron Hawkswell Cup Final

Prize Money: $22,500

AMRON TOY (3) is an honest type rarely out of the money, scoring at this track (42.71) last time and making it two straight wins. Solid record here winning six races. Happy to have him on top this line-up. MEPUNGA LARA (2) goes very well here starting 14 times for six wins and three minors. Hit the frame latest (43.18) when third at this track in a Special conditions H. Can feature in the finish. DERRY (1) has never missed the money at this C&D. Jumps from the inside draw. Last start finished 2nd on September 5 over 730m at this track behind AMRON TOY beaten 5.5 lengths (43.09) in a Special conditions H. Looks well placed here and among the chances. MEPUNGA DONNA (4) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 2nd on September 5 over 730m at this track behind Amron Toy beaten 5.5 lengths (43.09) in a Special conditions H. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (43.18) over 730m at this track. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on her best form.

Proved a class above after running them ragged to make it two in a row at this track over 730m (42.71). Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a solid 42.18 over 720m finishing second at Wentworth Park. Rates a chance if runs up to recent fast time.
