The Meadows Race 4

City View Bistro Veterans

Prize Money: $8,785

TROOPER TEARS (6) produced an eye catching 29.22 to claim a Special conditions Veteran race over 515m at Sandown last start. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. HECTOR FAWLEY (2) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 2 last time (30.06) at this track. Goes very well from this draw with four wins and four minor placings from 10 starts. Can measure up. GUNAI BOLD (7) has a strong record here with five wins and three placings from 15 starts. Recorded a 6 length win (22.36) in a Special conditions Veteran race last time at Warragul. Can feature with the right run. WILLA BALE (8) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - in the mix again.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 4 length second at this track but did record a slick 30.06 over the 525m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Last start finished fourth in a Grade 5 on April 12 over 525m at this track behind Shayna Bale, beaten 3.5 lengths (30.17). Hard to tip with any confidence.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (26.17) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 9 length eighth. Has three wins and three placings from 10 starts from the draw. Will need some luck to feature.

In sparkling form, last time showing brilliant early pace and proving too slick around Sandown over 515m in 29.22, making it three wins on end. Flying lately and can score again.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional, going on to clock 22.36 in a 6 length win at Warragul over 400m. Capable of a good showing.
