The Meadows Race 3 - Spphav Awards Night
VISTA WEIRD (1) finished fifth last time at Ballarat but could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his superb 30.87 win at Ballarat over 545m. Hard to top on best recent times. ETHANOL SECRET (5) could not have been more impressive last start in his a brilliant 34.04 win at Sandown over 595m. Top win latest and can measure up again. COMPTON GOLD (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (34.30) at Sandown. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to feature. IRISH MILLIE (8) looks an each-way chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 545m at Ballarat beaten 7 lengths (31.31) behind Stomping in a Special conditions race on August 20. Placed two back at this track. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 34.30 over 595m at Sandown. Looks a solid hope.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by one length at Warragul (26.02) beating Fernando Gomez in a Free For All on August 12. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.
