The Meadows Race 2

Sportsbet Final

Prize Money: $9,055

PAW FABIAN (1) flew the lids off the inside draw with a fast early split last time and went on to clock 29.93 when a 2.5 lengths winner over 525m at this track. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Ideally placed to take this out. ASTON WESTERN (2) won by 3.5 lengths last start when getting around Shepparton 450m in an excellent 25.19. In form and looks a leading player again. ASTON GOZO (5) tackled far tougher grade latest but ran very well to hit the frame when 2nd (30.22) at this track in Grade 5 H. Won an easier race the start before that at Sandown. The form out of last race has been strong. Leading player again. BLISTERED EARTH (7) will need to repeat last run to feature.

Good performance to win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 525m (29.93) beating Aston Western in Grade 5 H on January 15. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Shepparton over 450m in 25.19 last start, beating Ben Shaker. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Good effort to win last start by 1.1 lengths over 525m at this track in a handy (30.14), beating Aston Gozo. Will find this a bit tougher, not likely to feature on this occasion.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 7 lengths at Sandown. Form solid prior to that including a win at Sandown three back. Looks tested and others preferred this time.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Sandown over 515m in 29.28. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at this track at Grade 5 H a week-and-a-half ago. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Strong performance to win by a long neck at this track over 525m (30.18) beating Paw Octavia in Grade 5 H on January 15. Has run a slick time here with a 30.05 PB at the distance. Worth including.
