The Meadows Race 5 - Home Of The Phoenix
PAW FABLE (2) was in the money last time at this track (30.49) in a Mix 6/7 H, finishing a 1.5 lengths third. Has already won out of this draw. Looks the one to beat with even luck. TRUST IN PROCESS (5) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.3 lengths at Sandown in a handy 34.50 beating Blue Trombone. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Leading player again. LEKTRA ISA (1) is having her first look at this track. In the money last start when second (25.42) at Ballarat over 450m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from three starts. Bold showing expected. PANIPUCCI (3) is worth including.

Good performance to win by 1.3 lengths at Sandown over 595m (34.50) beating Blue Trombone in Mix 6/7 on February 23. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 400m in 22.54. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when eighth over 400m at Geelong at Restricted WIN level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Scored (25.89) last time out at Shepparton in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win and will break from box 8 for the first time. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
