The Meadows Race 5 - Phoenix Slots Close Sept 2
PAW XANDER (3) was quickly out of the tricky draw with a fast early sectional and clocked 29.39 with a 3 length win at Sandown over 515m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. One of the key runners again. PAW ZEVON (4) was sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.75 lengths third (30.61) over 525m at Wagga. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. DISHEVELED (8) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.32) at this track behind White Crest in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Leading chance. PIXIE TRIXIE (1) has claims fresh from a recent placing at this track and distance.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2.75 lengths third (30.61) over 525m at Wagga. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Impressive performance leading throughout to score by a half a length in a Grade 4/5 last start at Sale, clocking an excellent 28.62 for the 510m trip. Should be in this for a long way.
