The Meadows Race 5 - Happy 21St Patrick
ASTON GUITAR (1) shapes well for this after winning last start over the 515m at Sandown in an exceptional 29.39. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. REALITY BEST (5) crossed over from out wide but caught the leaders turning before drawing clear to score (29.21) at Sandown in a Mix 3/4 over 515m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Expected to measure up again. DEAR CARLA LOU (3) finished second last time (30.19) at this track after winning at her previous two outings. Has never missed the frame here from three starts. Form from her last run is proving very strong. Expected to be in this for a long way. WARM COCKLES (6) can run a bold race on best form.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Grade 5 on August 5 over 485m at Horsham behind Wraps beaten one length (27.54). Placed two back at Warrnambool. Looks a solid hope.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (30.19) at this track over 525m. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.
