The Meadows Race 3

Hector Fawley At Stud

Prize Money: $3,940

STILL TALKIN' (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at Sandown over 595m. Looks to have an edge on most of these. READY ONE (2) finished well back at Bendigo last time when a 7 length sixth (28.53) but scored four back at Sandown (29.74). Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Must be included in calculations. OPAWA VICTORIA (8) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 7 lengths behind Blue Storm in 34.93 and recording a new PB here. Should be in this for a long way. IT'S OKAY (6) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.75 lengths at Sandown (34.46) beating Xara Navy in a R/A FIN on October 15. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with her.

Comments

Was out of placings last time (28.53) at Bendigo in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from six starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (30.42) over 525m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and looks tested this line up.

Steps up to 600m for the first time. Last appeared when third over 425m at Traralgon five days ago. Hasn't been far away recently and can feature in the finish.

Hit the frame latest (34.93) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks one of the chances.
