The Meadows Race 8

Hector Fawley At Stud

Prize Money: $9,055

SHARAPOVA STAR (2) has a strong record this track and trip with eight wins and nine placings from 23 starts. Scored by 2.75 lengths last time (25.80) in a Grade 4/5 over 460m at Geelong. Appeals as a leading chance in this. HOT NANU (7) boasts a consistent overall record including 12 wins from 53 starts, but missed the frame latest when seventh (30.52) over 515m at Sandown. Solid record here at the distance winning nine races. Rates a winning chance on best. PAW QWERTY (1) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her strong win three back, getting around this track over 525m in 30.02. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. RADAR O'REILLY (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Geelong, recording a handy 25.80 over the 460m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 525m at this track in a handy (30.39), beating Scott Gnarly. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to entertain this time.

Was out of placings last time (30.52) at Sandown in a Free For All, finishing seventh and beaten 14 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from seven starts. Looks well placed and should feature.
