The Meadows Race 4 - Vic National Distance Series Ht3

WITHOUT A TRACE (2) was never in contention last time at this track, but prior to that won easily by 5.5 lengths at this track (42.74) beating COPPER RUSH in a Special conditions H on July 19. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has winning claims on her best figures. PAYBACK (4) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (34.69) in a Grade 5 at this track. Should be about the money. FLYING ENVY (5) was prominent throughout when winning two back then got further back last time but came home hard into third and beaten 6 lengths at Sandown (42.59). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Bold showing expected. THIS BAD BOY (1) will make his presence felt on the back of recent winning form.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (42.94) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.
