The Meadows Race 9 - Grv.org.au/Racedata

TOMMY SPARKLE (1) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 10 from 17 starts. Finished in the money last time though when third (30.53) at this track. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Top chance in this line up. KIWI ICE CUBE (6) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when second (30.43) in a Grade 6 over 525m at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. FORBES LIGHTNING (2) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Bendigo over 425m behind Pyrenees Ace (25.15) in a Restricted WIN H. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Likely to play a prominent role. HEATHER BALE (7) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.
