The Meadows Race 11

Meadows Conference & Events

Stake: $9,664

THIS TRAIN (8) was out of in the placings when sixth last time but prior to that clocked a solid 29.45 win over 515m at Sandown. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. SHARAPOVA STAR (3) scorched around Warrnambool over 450m in 25.05 for a 0.8 lengths success. Expected to feature again. NO MORE GAMES (4) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at Warragul following on from a third place finish (29.95) at Sandown the start prior. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Shapes as one to consider. ASTON ZOOM (2) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (30.41) over 525m at this track. Aided by a low draw and in the mix on her best form.

Solid performance to win by 0.8 lengths at Warrnambool over 450m (25.05) beating Panama Rhode in SE on January 4. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Was out of placings last time (26.85) at Warragul in a Free For All, finishing sixth and beaten 16 lengths. Box stats strong with two wins and two placings from five starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Did a good job two starts back at Shepparton to win by 3 lengths in 25.15, beating Carolyn's Joy. Last start finished 5th over 525m at this track beaten 8 lengths (30.39) behind Here Comes Milli in a Grade 5 on January 11. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability but will need the right run to feature here.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sandown over 515m. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 FIN on January 9 over 515m at Sandown behind Bounding Chief beaten 18 lengths (30.79). Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
