The Meadows Race 12

Gorski Tippers Melbourne

Prize Money: $8,785

TARA'S LILY (3) was last seen getting around 525m at this track in a good 30.07 for a nose victory. In winning form and can measure up again. VARSITY BALE (1) jumped from the same box last time when a 7 length third (30.21) at Sandown over 515m. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. IVORY NARWHAL (2) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 3.5 lengths behind Spring Coin in 30.31 and recording a new PB here. Should be in this for a long way. REV ROSE (5) is likely to have admirers.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 5 NP on March 31 over 515m at Sandown behind On The Loose beaten 7 lengths (30.21). Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3.5 lengths third (30.31) over 525m at this track. Rates highly on best form. Must include.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 525m at this track. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (24.17) over 425m at Bendigo. Tricky draw to overcome and prefer the place this line-up.
