The Meadows Race 2 - Home Of The Phoenix
SMOOTH DYNAMITE (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (25.72) in a Maiden at Ballarat. Can atone. TAKEN HOSTAGE (6) finished midfield on debut when fifth (30.86) at this track over 525m. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. NOVA'S FERN (4) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Ballarat over 660m behind Lamia Taya (39.02) in a Restricted WIN. Placed at her previous run. The form from her last run stacks up well. Better than last start and can bounce back. MONALEEN BEEFY (1) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Has finished fifth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 525m. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished eighth in a Maiden on March 26 over 450m at Ballarat behind Paw Funk, beaten 16 lengths (26.31). Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (30.80) over 525m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate but can measure up.

Turned in a fair debut over 525m at this track where she settled on speed and faded late to finish fifth (30.86). Should be further improved. Expected to go very well.

Last start finished 4th over 450m at Ballarat beaten 7 lengths (25.72) behind Paw Funk in a Maiden on March 26. Should prove hard to beat.
