The Meadows Race 4 - Total Container Solutions

RIVIERA BALE (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Sandown behind She's Wired (30.38) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to feature in the finish again. JETSON EXPRESS (2) sailed across from an outside draw last start to score an all-the-way win (30.81) at this track in a Grade 5 over 525m. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. SHAKA BIG CHIEF (6) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.75 lengths (30.92) behind JETSON EXPRESS at this track. Likely to be in the finish again. SUMMER SPRITZ (4) is worth consideration.

Good performance to win by 1.4 lengths at this track over 525m (30.81) beating Bobby Baccala in Grade 5 on January 1. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd over 525m at this track beaten 1.75 lengths (30.92) behind Jetson Express in a Grade 5 on January 1. Among the chances with the right run.

Is back up to 525m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when third over 450m at Warrnambool nine days ago. Happy enough to avoid.
