The Meadows Race 4 - Happy Birthday Narelle
BANDIT SWAGGER (4) boasts a consistent overall record including three wins from 10 starts, the latest winning (29.89) over 515m at Sandown. Happy to have him on top this line-up. PAW ZHANA (3) was a little disappointing last start at Wentworth Park when 7th (30.23) over 520m. Form here at this distance is strong including two wins. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. ULENTA BALE (1) was below best last time at Wentworth Park (30.06) in a NG, finishing a 4 length fifth. Has already won two times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. PAW BRUTUS (2) can measure up with the right run.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 5th in a NG on June 27 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Zipping Violet beaten 4 lengths (30.06). Capable of a strong show.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when fourth (30.17) at Wentworth Park. Aided by a low draw but will need to find best.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she does have good record over this track and distance. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 0.6 lengths at Sandown (29.89) beating Tandanya in a Mix 6/7 on June 25. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Backs up after winning easily by 4.5 lengths at Warrnambool (25.66) beating Paw Kenneth in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on June 29 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
