The Meadows Race 6

Craigieburn Secondary 2005 Reunion

Stake: $10,323

MEPUNGA TULLY (2) goes very well this trip starting 31 times for 13 wins and six minors. In the money last time at this track (29.96) in a Free For All, finishing a 1.75 lengths third. Looks well placed and should feature. SHARAPOVA STAR (7) hit the ground running last time with a hot early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 0.6 lengths (29.84) over 525m at this track. Has won three of six starts from this draw. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. MAV REIKO (4) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by one length at Healesville in a handy 19.35 beating For The Plot. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Must be included in calculations. OUR REGARDS (1) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when third (19.53) in a Free For All over 350m at Healesville.

Working her way into winning form after her success on October 16 at Sandown over 515m. Last start was third over 525m in 29.96, behind Sharapova Star. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on her best form.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 350m at Healesville in a handy (19.35), beating For The Plot. Has clocked an excellent 29.91 Best Time here at the trip. Winning chance with a similar performance.

Comes off a (26.28) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 460m at Geelong. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Others appear better placed.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by a 0.6 lengths in a Free For All last start at this track, clocking a brilliant 29.84 for the 525m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 600m at this track. Better off looking to others.
