The Meadows Race 5 - Australia Post Somerton

MEPUNGA TULLY (1) scored by 5.5 lengths last time (29.74) in a Grade 4/5 over 525m at this track. Has already won two times from this draw. Rates on top and should go close. ZIPPING HOPKINS (2) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races, hitting the line hard to place two back then came home strongly into second (29.19) in a Free For All at Sandown last time. Solid record here winning three races. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in this for a long way. HECTOR FAWLEY (7) was below best at his last start when 6th at Sandown following a third place finish (29.17) there two back. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Can measure up this time. GRAND TOURER (5) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into third last time out (30.30) over 525m at this track.

Flew the lids with a slick early split last time and went on to clock 29.74 as a strongly fancied winner over 525m at this track. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 10 length third over 525m this track in 30.30. Looks a solid contender.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior she clocked a slick 30.09 over 525m finishing third at this track. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Could manage only sixth last time but caught the eye the start prior when he clocked a scintillating 34.71 over 595m finishing third at Sandown. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.
