Angle Park Race 3

2025 Tab Match Race F Cta Division1

Stake: $12,210

MEPUNGA REWARD (1) is an honest type who is new to this track. Comes into this a winner last time from box six where he scored by 2.25 lengths at Q Lakeside (30.45). Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Well placed and can measure up. DALWHINNIE (4) was a Grade 5 winner (29.19) two back then given a spell after falling last time at Wentworth Park. Has the ability and can atone with the right run. EXCAVATION (2) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at Sandown over 515m behind Bagman (29.96) in a Free For All. Was a winner the start prior. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from five starts. Has ability and can measure up. BAREFOOT ZULU (7) won last start after racing on the pace. Right in the mix.

Is back from a break after falling last time but prior to that was an effortless Grade 5 winner (29.19) at Wentworth Park, scoring by 10 lengths. No luck latest and can atone here fresh.
