The Meadows Race 10

The Watchdog App

Stake: $4,008

CRUZADO (8) had the drop on the lead before drawing clear to score (35.24) at this track in Grade 5 NP over 600m. One of the key runners again. BELFAST SPOT (2) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, 1.3 lengths from the winner CRUZADO (35.33) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings nine times from 14 starts. Expected to feature again. MONEY PALACE (7) had been racing well prior to his last start fourth at Ballarat following a Grade 5 win three back with a third placing. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. ZIPPING MAUDIE (5) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.

Comments

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 595m at Sandown. This looks too tough.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 600m at this track beaten 1.5 lengths (35.34) behind Cruzado in a Grade 5 NP on August 5. In the money last time but has the job ahead.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability and looks one of the hopes in this.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.3 lengths at this track over 600m (35.24) beating Belfast Spot in Grade 5 NP on August 5. Recorded two placings in a row before he was rewarded with a win most recently. Expected to go well again.
