The Meadows Race 4

Silver Chief Ht2

Prize Money: $9,055

DEWANA STAR (2) is a progressive type who recorded his 8th career win last time out (29.96) at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. WHISKEY WHISKERS (7) ran below best last time finishing fourth (29.61) over 515m at Sandown from Box 4. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Should be thereabouts. ZELDA BRAGA (1) finished sixth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 500m at Bendigo, taking a Grade 4/5 in a quick 28.19. Has the ability and can find winning form again. SPARRING (6) is a last start winner worth following up.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 525m in 29.96, claiming a Grade 5 by 1.3 lengths. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Looks close to another win after his success on October 30 at Sandown over 515m. Last start was fourth over 515m in 29.61, behind Mallee Beauty. Has run hot time here with a 29.61 PB at the distance. Key chance.
