The Meadows Race 1 - Shepparton To The Meadows Final
ASH INTENTION (4) bolted home by 4.5 lengths (25.17) at Shepparton last time from box 8. Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. One of the key runners again. ALFREDO (6) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 1.3 lengths away in second (25.33) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 H over 450m. Expected to feature. ASTON POLICY (2) comes here after a sizzling Grade 5 H win at Shepparton over 450m in 25.25. In form and looks a leading player again. DAD'S SURPRISE (1) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (25.41) over 450m at Shepparton. This appears within her reach.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional, going on to clock 25.17 in a 4.5 lengths win at Shepparton over 450m. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
