The Meadows Race 4

Geelong To The Meadows Final

Stake: $9,960

WHITE OWL (1) comes off a (30.48) win last time, scoring by 1.4 lengths in a Grade 5 H over 520m at Geelong. Has two wins already from this draw. Looks the one to beat with even luck. COMBO COL (5) is a well performed dog who recorded his 6th career win last time out at Geelong (30.38). Has a good record here at this journey. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Leading player again. YAMGATA BALE (2) jumped from an awkward draw and ran well to finish in the placings, beaten 2.5 lengths (30.55) at Geelong in Grade 5 H. Is yet to find the frame here from three. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Bold showing expected. ASTON PING (8) picked up a cheque in slick time most recently - in the mix again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Geelong over 520m in 30.48 last start, beating Play The Victim. Likes the rails so should be prominent.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (30.55) at Geelong over 520m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 520m at Geelong. That followed a win two back in 27.19 beating Daintree Pedro over 485m at Horsham. Needs to find a bit more.

In the money last time at Geelong (30.50) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Can feature with the right run.
