The Meadows Race 4 - Di Battista Real Estate

MEPUNGA SPIRIT (1) jumped well from this draw last time and was prominent throughout before holding second (29.69) in a Mix 6/7 at Sandown over 515m. Rates a top chance. PAW XEROX (4) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 2.25 lengths (30.43) in a Mix 6/7 H at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. TASTE (2) has been in the money at four of nine starts, winning two back before another minor placings latest when second (19.65) over 350m at Healesville. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. SCARY STORM (8) was a course and distance winner on debut and has definite claims again.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 2 length second over 515m Sandown in 29.69. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Won two starts back at Healesville over 350m in 19.24. Followed that up with a minor placing over 350m at Healesville at Mix 6/7 FIN five days ago. In form and another win would not surprise.

Did a good job on debut at Ballarat to win by 3.5 lengths in 25.53, beating Patience. Last start finished last on March 16 over 450m at Shepparton behind Devington beaten 9 lengths (25.64) in a Mix 6/7 H. Can't enthuse on this occasion.
