The Meadows Race 2 - Home Of The Phoenix
ASTON MICHELLE (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.04) at Sandown behind Refuted in a Maiden. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. The form from her last run stacks up well. Leading chance again. RICH GAIRN (1) is a newcomer for the Brendan Pursell kennel with no trial form to work with. Drawn to get every chance. Profiles well but prefer to see a move in betting. STIDHAM ARIZONA (4) comes off an average run last start when fifth at this track over 525m behind Jetty Jumper (30.51). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. WHERE IS CHUNKY (8) surprised many when in the placings last start - deserves some thought.

Ran a solid race on debut when settled well off the lead early but got home well to finish fifth (30.51) at this track over 525m. Likely to be much improved. Leading chance on best form.

Has raced five times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a third (31.10) over 525m at this track. Has finished in the money at the last two starts. Tough to make a case.
