The Meadows Race 9

Riverside Cricket Club

Prize Money: $10,095

ASTON GUITAR (1) was below best last time at this track (35.57) in a Grade 5, finishing a 12 length sixth. Has already won four times from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. REGAL JYLE (4) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 5.5 lengths at Bendigo in a handy 27.87 beating Larni Lou. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Sure to measure up. PAW ZOLTIN (5) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Finished third (30.53) at this track last time making it three minors on end. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Ready to find winning form. MAGIC SCOTCH (8) is another with top-three prospects.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (35.57) in a Grade 5, finishing a 12 length sixth. Yet to miss the placings in seven runs from this box, including four wins. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Is back up to 600m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when fourth over 460m at Geelong eight days ago. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Was far too good after leading claiming his three straight wins at Bendigo over 500m (27.87). Looks a key chance on recent form.

Comments

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on April 4 over 525m at this track behind Paw Damon beaten 6 lengths (30.53). Has been around the mark last couple and should make his presence felt.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing second (35.14) at Sandown. Jumps from the outside. Has to do a bit more.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, well placed and among the chances here.
