The Meadows Race 7

Meadows Conference & Events

Stake: $10,903

HOLDEN BALE (2) was well off the pace early and turned with work to do but wound up to finish in the minors when second (30.14) over 525m at this track. Likely to enjoy the staying trip for the first time. Ready to find winning form. MAGIC SNOWDROP (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (39.49) in a R/A FIN at Geelong latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Rates a winning chance on best. CHICKEN FISH (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (29.90) in a Special conditions race at Sandown. Bold showing expected. ASTON GAGA (8) is worth some thought after placing last start.

Missed the frame latest (34.83) when fourth over 595m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Good effort to win last start by a head over 525m at this track in a handy (30.44), beating Paw Maddox. Will find this a bit tougher, looking to others this time.
