Parkside Meats Pathways H

Stake: $2,592

ASTON ATKINS (5) comes off an average effort last start when seventh at this track over 380m behind Hara's Meryl (22.97) in a Grade 5. Has winning claims on his best figures. MATRIARCH SHELL (1) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at this track over 498m behind Stappen On Tap (29.87) in a P5. Expected to feature in the finish. ETERNAL WINTER (2) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 380m behind Hara's Serena (22.59) in a Grade 5. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Likely to be thereabouts. MONEYBALL (8) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.
