The Meadows Race 7 - City View Bistro

SPICY LA VIDA (6) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 4 last run (29.80) at Sandown. Likely to feature again. MEPUNGA EXPRESS (4) finished seventh last time (25.81) at Ballarat after winning at his previous three outings. Goes very well at the trip finding the frame in each of three starts. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. LOCHINVAR HUMMER (7) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (34.26), beaten 3.5 lengths. Finished second the start before. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expected to give a good account. PAW WAVERLY (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a sizzling early split and led for much of the way before being grabbed late, finishing a 6 length third at Warragul in 25.89. Thereabouts and rates well in this. Expected to run well.

Was out of placings last time (30.63) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from four starts. Will need some luck to feature.
