The Meadows Race 8

We Stand With Tasmania

Stake: $11,827

MEPUNGA LARA (4) recorded her Best Time this course and distance when a 42.86 winner of a Grade 4/5 in one of the quickest wins on the program. Should be in this for a long way. GREYSYND SAMMY (3) was well supported last time but could only manage second (36.87), beaten 3 lengths. Has won two of three starts from this draw. Leading player again. SWEET SUNDOWN (2) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 2 lengths away in second (34.78) at this track in a Special conditions H over 600m. Must be included in calculations. MAGIC SNOWDROP (1) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can bounce back.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (43.07) at big odds over 730m at this track. Aided by the inside draw and is among the better hopes.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2 length second (34.78) over 600m at this track. Excellent record from this draw, including three wins. In the mix.

Won again and recorded an impressive time after running them ragged to make it two on end at this track over 730m (42.86). Looks suited and should go close again.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a sixth over 595m at Sandown. Would be better placed in something easier.

Missed the frame latest (43.32) when sixth over 730m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (34.61) over 600m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Looks to have the job ahead.
