The Meadows Race 3 - East Ivanhoe Bowling Club
VICTORY EXAM (1) is a handy type who notched his 2nd career success when too good (30.33) from Box 4 at this track. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. INDY ALEX (2) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at this track over 525m behind VICTORY EXAM (30.99) in a Mix 6/7. Was in the money prior to that. Key player if finds best. LITTLE RAT (4) had been in super honest form hitting the frame four times on end before finishing fifth (23.73) at Horsham last time. Cannot be left out. HAPPY DAD (3) was in the money last time at this track (30.36) in a Mix 6/7, finishing a half a length second. Has already won out of this draw.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 525m in 30.33 last start, beating Happy Dad. Likes the rails so was strong in the market and scored a soft win most recently. Stay with him.

Impressive performance leading throughout to post a big 6 lengths victory in a Mix 6/7 last start at Shepparton, clocking a brilliant 25.26 for the 450m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 525m at this track. That followed a win two back in 25.35 beating Naringal Lad over 450m at Warrnambool. In the money last time but has the job ahead.

Was among the placegetters latest at Sandown when a 2.75 lengths second but did clock a slick 29.58 over the 515m trip. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.
