The Meadows Race 4

Old Eltham Collegians Fnc

Prize Money: $9,055

PAW OTIS (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (29.74) at Sandown behind PAW VORTEX in a Mix 3/4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Capable of going well again. PAW VORTEX (7) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and two placings from nine starts. Scored by 4 lengths last time (29.47) in a Mix 3/4 over 515m at Sandown. Looks well placed here and among the chances. HIGHLY CONNECTED (3) missed the frame but ran a respectable fourth at Geelong over 460m in 25.74. Expecting another bold showing. MINER MICK (8) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 4 length second over 515m Sandown in 29.74. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Was out of placings last time (30.02) at Sandown in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from eight starts. Makes appeal on best.

Solid performance to post a big 4 lengths win at Sandown over 515m (29.75) beating Paw Julia in Grade 5 on June 8. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sandown over 515m in 29.47 last start, beating Paw Otis. Expected to measure up again.
