The Meadows Race 6

Stake: $9,779

VILMA BALE (4) skirted wide from an outside draw last start and found the front, leading throughout to win (30.12) at this track in a Grade 5 over 525m. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to her name from 10 starts. The hardest to beat again. PAW UMA (8) could manage only second at this track last time but caught the eye when posting a swift 30.10 over 525m at this track the start prior. Must include on winning run two back. KRAKEN PADDY (6) stalked the lead then burst clear to score (30.14) at this track in a Grade 5 over 525m. Significant danger. TANNER BALE (7) hit the frame latest (22.09) when third at Ballarat in a Free For All. Has three wins already from this draw.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 515m at Sandown. Not likely to feature on this occasion.
