The Meadows Race 9 - Melbournegreyhounds.org.au
GALENTO (7) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (25.48), beaten 2.75 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Can bounce back. ASCEND GERANIUM (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (34.66) from Box 4 at this track. The form out of last race has been strong. Can measure up. RIVERSDALE MICK (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (30.40) last time in a Mix 3/4 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. PAW GORDY (3) will have admirers again after a narrow placing last time out.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (34.66) at this track over 600m. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

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 second (29.83) over 515m at Sandown. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished 5th in a Grade 4/5 on April 22 over 450m at Ballarat behind Paw Gertrude beaten 2.75 lengths (25.48). Placed two back at Sandown. Recorded three placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.
