The Meadows Race 2 - Fireball Ht1
ETHANOL WATER (7) has a strong record this trip with 11 wins and four placings from 24 starts. Comes off a (41.40) win last time, scoring by 5.5 lengths in a OPEN over 710m at Q Parklands. Expected to go close. LANFRANCO (5) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4.5 lengths (43.01) at this track. Harder here but expected to measure up. FADE TO BLACK (8) has a big motor and ideally suited at the longer trips. Kept coming to fill the minor placings over 660m at Bendigo (37.71) in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well at the journey winning one races. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Expected to feature again. FLYING PROUD (4) looks an each-way chance.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 570m at Temora in a handy (33.06), beating Ozzie Nick. Will find this a bit tougher, happy to risk in this.

Hit the frame last time at Bendigo but the start prior was an impressive winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Should be in this for a long way.
