The Meadows Race 12

Sportsbet Green Tick

Prize Money: $3,340

ASTON ALLURE (7) placed three back at Ballarat then out of the placings last couple but moves to box 7 this time where she has performed well. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. OBSTROPALOUS (8) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 5th (30.40) at Sandown. Has a solid record over this journey. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from six starts. One of the better hopes. DROP OF INK (4) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when third (30.89) in a Grade 5 at this track. Can find the frame this time. PAW URSULA (5) is not to be discarded.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 525m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at Bendigo. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Missed the frame latest (30.65) when fifth over 525m at this track in a Grade 5. Has three wins and three placings from nine starts from the draw. Key chance and should go close.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.40) in a Grade 5 NP, finishing a 5 length fifth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from six starts. Looks well placed and should feature.
