The Meadows Race 3 - Happy Birthday Aileen (5+ Wins)
ECHOES OF DAD (2) has an excellent record over this journey having never missed the placings in five starts, including three wins and two placings. Scored by 4.5 lengths last time (30.12) in a Grade 5 over 530m at Angle Park. Looks a key chance on best form. PAW IKE (8) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Sandown over 595m behind He's Magic (34.47) in a Free For All. Was a winner the start prior. Cannot be left out. ASTON BARTON (1) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in four starts, including three wins. Was out of the placings last time (42.93) at this track in a Special conditions race, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Suited here and expected to run well. WEBLEC MEMPHIS (3) won as expected last time and is a major player again.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (34.52) over 595m at Sandown. Has a solid record from out wide but will need to find best.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sandown over 595m. Last start finished 6th in a Free For All on January 29 over 595m at Sandown behind He's Magic beaten 9 lengths (34.47). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.
