The Meadows Race 4 - Fireball Ht3

LATE NIGHT NEWS (2) out of the placings in a NG last time, colliding with another runner and finishing a 9 length sixth over 660m at Grafton. Has four wins from Box 2. Can find winning form here. ELLA'S BABE (7) has a strong record this trip with eight wins and eight placings from 22 starts. Placed last time (34.95) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten half a length. Makes strong appeal on best. SCOTCH TIME (8) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing second (43.31) at this track in a Special conditions race over 730m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Bold showing expected. IRON WORKS (3) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.
