The Meadows Race 6

Prize Money: $3,340

SEEK TO PLAN (4) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 525m behind Magic Scotch (31.21) in a Restricted WIN. Better than last start and worth following up. SIR WHIP (6) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (25.98) in a Grade 5 H NP at Ballarat. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. ZIPPING CRUSADER (7) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2 lengths (30.58) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including eight wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Cannot be taken lightly. HURRICANE MIST (2) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Comments

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on June 21 over 425m at Bendigo behind Atlas Alien beaten 1.75 lengths (24.62). Has the fence but others are preferred.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.86) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Among the main chances.

Latest effort finished 4th on June 11 over 525m at this track behind Foxy Roxy beaten 3.5 lengths (30.60) in a Grade 5. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (25.88) over 450m at Ballarat. Has a wide draw to navigate and prefer the place this line-up.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 460m at Geelong. Not keen this time.
