The Meadows Race 8

Prize Money: $10,375

SWEET SUNDOWN (4) was a strong winner (34.41) from box 3 last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths at this track. Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. IRON ATLAS (8) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors five starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (34.45) at this track over 600m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Deserves a win and gets his chance. PRETTY HOT (1) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won two of three starts. Missed the frame latest (34.71) when fifth over 595m at Sandown in a Grade 4/5. Looks one of the chances. SET TO SIZZLE (2) cannot be underestimated.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 525m in 30.36. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at this track at Mix 3/4 a week ago. Others have better credentials.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2.75 lengths second at this track but did record a solid 34.45 over the 600m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.
