The Meadows Race 3 - Home Of The Phoenix
PAW IKE (5) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 2 lengths (34.83) behind Warm Cockles at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Sure to be about the mark. URANA PARALLAX (4) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (34.63) at Sandown in a Grade 4/5 over 595m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can feature again. NIGEL DEVERE (8) missed the frame two back but wound up strongly last time, finishing on late when third (27.83) in a Special conditions race at Bendigo. Has a good record here including two wins. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to feature again. MEPUNGA SHADOW (1) is worth consideration.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (29.74) over 515m at Sandown. Aided by the inside draw and in the mix on his best form.

Did a good job two starts back at Sandown to win by 11 lengths in 34.36, beating His Special. Last start finished last on April 5 over 500m at Bendigo behind Scott Sigma beaten 8 lengths (28.35) in a Special conditions race. Happy enough to avoid.

Hit the frame latest (34.63) when second at Sandown in a Grade 4/5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Makes strong appeal.

Was out of placings last time (30.75) at Angle Park in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Will need the right run.

Hit the frame at Bendigo last time when a 1.1 lengths third but did record a lightning 27.83 for the 500m journey. Has the ability and looks an each way chance.
