The Meadows Race 1

City View Bistro

Stake: $3,146

NOVA'S FERN (6) comes off an average run last start when fourth at this track over 525m behind Taken Hostage (30.44). Looks the one to beat on her best form. FIVE JACKS (3) produced a moderate effort last time when fifth at this track over 525m behind Mepunga Donna (31.27) in a Maiden FIN. Was in the money the start prior. Can figure in the finish. KING OF SNAKE (7) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (31.00) at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. DIPLOMAT (8) is worth consideration.

Last start finished sixth over 425m at Bendigo, beaten 10 lengths (25.29) behind Bed Time Daisy in a Maiden on April 2. Would be better placed in something easier.

Is a three start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (22.76) over 400m at Geelong. Was prominent most of the way and only faded late. Others appear better placed.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (30.69) over 525m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.
