The Meadows Race 11 - Whiskey Riot Classic
HOT NANU (2) rocketed out of the boxes with a sizzling early split and led throughout to score when a 5.5 lengths winner (29.92) over 525m at this track. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Form reads well for this. VALENZUELA (4) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish third, beaten 2.25 lengths (29.29) at Sandown in a S/E Group 1 over 515m. Yet to miss the placings from three starts out of this box. Will give a great sight again. HIGHLY CONNECTED (8) goes very well this trip starting 24 times for eight wins and seven minors. Below best last time at this track (30.62) in a Free For All, finishing a 9 length fifth. Makes strong appeal on best. ASTON RAYNER (1) generally performs well from this box.

Hit the frame last time at Sandown but the start prior was an impressive winner after tracking the speed, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Special conditions H at Sandown and recording a flying 29.26 over the 515m journey. Rates on top and can find winning form again.

Backs up quickly after winning by 1.75 lengths at this track (30.10) beating Shake It Off in a Mix 3/4 on December 10 three days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 515m at Sandown beaten half a length (29.87) behind Meatball Molly in a Grade 5 on December 4. Likely to find this a bit tough.
