The Meadows Race 7

Prize Money: $3,340

MY MATE LEO (8) had been in sparkling form with a two start winning streak coming to an end last time finishing third (30.65) at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Boxed wide but will go close with the right run. MORAINE SARA (6) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish third, beaten 1.1 lengths, (30.38) at this track. Overdue and expected to feature again. NANCY DEVERE (3) has been in super consistent form recently with three minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing seventh (28.35) at Bendigo. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Great chance to atone. AUNTY CHERYL (4) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.

Finished second at big odds last time (29.60) over 515m at Sandown. Boxed the fence this time. Has to do a bit more.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 11 lengths at Sandown. Form solid prior to that including a win at Mt Gambier three back. Needs to find best and prepared to watch this time.

Was out of placings last time (28.35) at Bendigo in a Grade 4/5, finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from six starts. Looks one of the chances.

Last start finished 3rd over 525m at this track beaten 1.1 lengths (30.38) behind Bomb Over in a Grade 4/5 on April 15. More than capable and well placed to find her best form.

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by one length in 31.09, beating Paw Quiver. Last start finished last on April 4 over 525m at this track behind Aston Policy beaten 9 lengths (30.93) in a Grade 5. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (30.65) at this track in a Grade 5. Has first look at box 8 this time. Key chance and should go close.
