The Meadows Race 7

Sportsbet Ht3

Prize Money: $3,460

PAW QWERTY (8) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2 lengths at Sandown in a handy 29.97 beating Ready One. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Sure to prove hard to beat. ASTON BARRISTER (2) has missed the placings at his last couple but was in the money three back when second (29.79) at Sandown in a Grade 5. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. WHERE'S NASSIF (1) finished in the minors last start over the 460m at Geelong but ran a quick 25.84 last start. Expecting another bold showing. PAW ZHANA (5) generally performs well over this distance.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Bendigo over 425m. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on June 6 over 525m at this track behind Kris Bar Imogen beaten 7 lengths (30.81). Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Was a winner three back at Warragul then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fourth (26.56) at Warragul. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 515m at Sandown in a handy (30.12), beating Mepunga Shadow. Top-three hope with the right run.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Horsham (23.05) beating Aston Summit in a Special conditions H on May 26. Has ability and worth including.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sandown over 515m in 29.97 last start, beating Ready One. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
