The Meadows Race 3 - Warrnambool To The Meadows Final

MINER MICK (1) sprung the lids and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths (25.44) at Warrnambool in Grade 5 H. Has been out the placings in all two runs here. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Sure to prove hard to beat. BETTY'S GARDEN (8) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 2 lengths at Warrnambool in a handy 25.49 beating NOBBY. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to her name from 11 starts. Can make it two on the bounce. NOBBY (3) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.44 last start, beating Springer's Boy. Likes the rails so should be prominent.

In the money last time at Warrnambool (25.62) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 2 length second. Has never missed the placings from three starts off this box. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 460m in 25.82. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at Warrnambool at Grade 5 H nine days ago. Should be around the mark.

Did a good job two starts back at Geelong to win by 3.5 lengths in 22.64, beating Doongalla Boy. Last start finished 4th on February 19 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Betty's Garden beaten 3 lengths (25.68) in a Grade 5 H. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 25.49 with a 2 length win at Warrnambool over 450m. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
