The Meadows Pa Race 13 - Race 13 - 1609M

SWEET BALLAD (3) was 0.9 metres away in second at this track over 1609m last start at her first run back from a spell. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and she can take it to the next level. SWEET BRIAR (5) produced another fine effort last start when she finished third over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 metres. Leading hope based on recent form. TRUMPS LAWYER (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. CHATTY VANESSA (1) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.9 m by Adalecia (1:55.00) in FMW1NW2EXT on January 15 at $5. Will take a lot from that run and can take this out.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Adalecia at this track over 1609m in a FMW1NW2EXT on January 15 at $2.30. Performed better the start before where she posted a big 6 m win (Fr4) at this track (1:53.30) beating Adalecia in FMW1NW2EXT on January 8 at $5.10. Capable of a strong showing.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 24 m by T's Twistedsister (2:) in FM15000NW2 on January 10 at $91.80. Before that 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 30 m by Storm Ahead (1:56.40) in NW1PMCD on December 28 at $56.90. Might find this too tough.
