The Meadows Race 9

City View Bistro

Stake: $10,903

REAPER (4) has a strong overall record having 10 wins and 10 places from 30 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (34.59) over 595m at Sandown. Form here sound including two wins. Looks well placed here and should prove hard to beat again. PAW GRADY (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (35.16) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Solid record here winning five races. Should be in this for a long way. PAW GORDY (6) turned in a better effort at Ballarat last start, finishing third behind Matt Loch (25.42) in a Special conditions H. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can measure up. SET TO SIZZLE (8) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (35.01) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Super consistent from the draw with a win and two places from three starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (34.59) at Sandown over 595m. Expected to go very well.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, leading chance on best form.
