The Meadows Pa Race 5

1609M

Prize Money: $15,291

BIG BANG BANG (5) scored last time out by 3 metres in a break through win this campaign at Northfield Park over 1609m. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. COLONEL BAYAMA (6) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 18 metres. Expect him to be prominent. ALL THE CHIPS (3) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track four weeks ago. PONDA LUCK (1) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 85 m by Midnight Rocker (1:50.30) in NW4900L4 on September 6 at $116.60. Showed ability the race before when he won by 5 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:53.40) beating Bottle Rocket in NW1750L4 on August 30 at $1.40. Capable of more than he has shown recently.
