The Meadows Race 4 - The Watchdog App

IRON WORKS (5) goes very well at the distance with four wins and a placing from six starts. Comes off a (41.88) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Free For All over 715m at Cannington. Appeals as a leading chance in this. MISS MARY JO (1) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from five starts. Missed the frame latest (34.89) when sixth over 595m at Sandown in a Grade 5. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. MEPUNGA LARA (7) jumps from box 7 for the first time after scoring at Sandown (41.96) in a Restricted WIN. Form here excellent including two wins. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Deserves serious consideration again. IF ONLY (8) will give backers a sight.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (34.89) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and four places from six starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Was out of placings last time (38.66) at Bendigo in a Mix 4/5 FIN, finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 4/5 on July 2 over 600m at this track behind Aston Barton beaten 2 lengths (35.33). Hard to entertain this time.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 715m at Cannington in a handy 41.88, beating Tommy The Lion. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 715m at Sandown (41.96), beating Mickayla Swift. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 2.25 lengths at Sale (36.63) beating Paw Louis in a Grade 5 on June 22. Leading chance on best form.
