The Meadows Race 9 - Sportsbet Australian Cup Consolation

DASHING SLAY (1) is racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (29.82) over 525m at this track. Ready to find winning form. ZELDA COVILHA (4) could manage only fourth at this track last time but caught the eye when posting a slick 34.18 over 595m at Sandown three starts back. Expected to feature on best figures. ASTON RAYNER (6) has performed well at his last couple of runs here, most recently when third beaten 3 lengths (30.04). Has a good record here including a win and three placings. Leading player again. AVENGEMENT (7) was in the money last time at this track (29.93) in a Special conditions SF, finishing a 3 length third. Has already won out of this draw.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.4 lengths third at this track but did record a brilliant 29.82 for the 525m trip. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (29.95) at this track over 525m. Can't recommend in this field.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after tracking the speed, scoring by 0.9 lengths in a Special conditions race at this track and recording a powerful 29.93 over the 525m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 525m at this track beaten 2 lengths (29.88) behind Paw Oswald in a Special conditions SF on February 21. No easier here so may struggle.
