The Meadows Race 6

City View Bistro

Stake: $11,004

WERRIS BALE (6) placed three back at this track then out of the placings last couple but moves to box 6 this time where he has performed well. Meets a moderate line up and rates on top this time. IF ONLY (1) has a strong record this trip with three wins and three placings from nine starts. Placed last time (43.11) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten one length. Looks one of the chances. SCOTCH TIME (4) was a strong winner (41.99) from box 2 last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths at Sandown. Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Form should stack up. MITZI ROCKS (7) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Strong performance to win by 0.8 lengths at Sandown over 595m (34.80) beating Pretty Hot in Grade 5 on August 11. The form from the last run stacks up nicely. Worth following up.
