The Meadows Race 3

Melbournegreyhounds.org.au

Stake: $3,674

RIVERSDALE MICK (7) boasts strong form at this track having won two times from four starts. Was out of placings last time (30.41) at this track in a Grade 5 H, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Rates a leading player. BABY GIRL PEARL (4) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths (26.06) behind Mandolin Storm at Geelong. Expecting another good run. MISTER MANFREDI (1) finished third (26.04) two back at Warragul but out of the placings last time when 7th at Sandown. Likely to be thereabouts. ARANDT ABOUT (2) returns here as an each-way chance.

Comments

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (26.04) over 460m at Warragul. Aided by the inside draw but looks a each way chance only this field.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (30.64) at this track over 525m. Boxed on well to finish runner-up at the latest run. Leading player.

Ran a better race when third behind Mandolin Storm at Geelong last start over 460m (26.06). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Last start finished fifth on April 12 over 525m at this track behind Varsity Bale, beaten 3.5 lengths (30.52) in a Grade 5. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.41) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 5 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
