The Meadows Race 1

Sportsbet Final

Stake: $9,576

MEPUNGA EXPRESS (8) missed the frame on debut (23.52) at Geelong then opened winning account at second run with a 2.5 lengths win (30.39) at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Great chance to get the job done again. WEBLEC PAXTON (1) was a strong course and distance winner last time, claiming a Maiden H in a powerful 30.55 and a new PB here. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. LADY TSUNADE (2) led early but gathered in and found a bit of trouble before filling the minors (30.55) at this track over 525m in a Maiden H. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. BRAVE ISLAND (7) was a debut placegetter and not beaten too far. Improver right in the mix again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.5 lengths second (30.55) over 525m at this track and making it two placings on end. Has the ability to take this out.

Showed good early speed on debut. Won by half a length at this track (30.38) beating Paddy's Chariot in a Maiden H on August 20. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Made a big impression on debut when made light work of the tricky draw with a fast early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing second (30.55) at this track. Promising type and can run another bold race.

Has raced three times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a third (30.78) over 525m at this track. Has hit the frame at the last two starts. Tough to make a case.
