The Meadows Race 9

Prize Money: $3,340

OPAWA POSTMAN (6) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 5.5 lengths into third (30.47) at Addington in a R/A H over 525m. Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Can measure up this time. OPAWA HASS (7) is a well performed dog and winner of 19 races who was in the minor money last time out at Addington (30.50). Can feature again. TRENDY TOMMY (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (24.88) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Sale. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Should be about the money. PAW VINE (2) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (30.60) at this track in a Grade 5.

Backs up after winning by 0.8 lengths at Geelong (26.13) beating Naringal Lad in a Grade 4/5 on September 11 five days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (24.88) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 9 length fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Is back up to 525m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when successful over 425m at Bendigo five days ago. Other runners look much more appealing.

Placed last time (30.47) at Addington in a R/A H, finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Looks a leading chance.
