The Meadows Race 4

Prize Money: $8,785

SLICK BADGER (1) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Grade 4/5 winner three back (25.36) at Ballarat over 450m. Can turn form around here. JETTY JUMPER (7) ran below his best last time finishing eighth (30.92) over 525m at this track in a Grade 5. Form here sound including three wins. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Warrants plenty of respect. PETALI (8) has a strong record this trip with three wins and two placings from nine starts. In the money last time at this track (30.47) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 5.5 lengths second. Looks well placed here and among the chances. PAW ZHANA (6) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished last over 525m at this track beaten 13 lengths (30.88) behind Dash Parr in a Grade 5 on September 19. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (30.58) over 525m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by a head in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, clocking a slick 30.01 over the 525m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
