The Meadows Race 9

City View Bistro

Stake: $3,674

GUNAI NUGGET (7) scored (22.65) last time out at Geelong adding to an already respectable career. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. PAW LILIBET (5) produced a moderate effort last time when fifth at Bendigo over 500m behind Paw Ultra (28.66) in a Grade 4/5. Placed at her previous run. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in three starts. Great chance to atone. HURRICANE MIST (8) jumped quickly from box four to score by a space (30.48) two back then drew the same last time and could manage only a 6 length 4th at this track (30.51). Bold showing expected. LITTLE GLADYS (4) is among the chances again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Won two starts back at Bendigo over 500m in 28.43. Followed that up with a minor placing over 500m at Bendigo at Grade 5 three days ago. No easier here so may struggle.

Solid performance to win by 1.5 lengths at Geelong over 400m (22.70) beating Master Of Dreams in Grade 5 on April 7. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Missed the frame last start when a 6 length fifth (28.66) at Bendigo. Previous form sound including a win three back at Geelong. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 0.6 lengths at this track (30.48) beating Little Darl in a Grade 5 on April 2. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
