The Meadows Race 4 - Fireball Ht2
MAGPIE HECTOR (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (41.54) at Q Parklands. Has a strong record here at this journey including two wins. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Capable of going well again. MEPUNGA LARA (4) turned in a moderate run last time when seventh at Q Parklands over 710m behind Miss Envy (42.06) in a OPEN. Was in the money prior to that. Should play a prominent role. VODKA AND ICE (6) is a strong stayer who excels over the longer races. Was sixth last time (42.10) over 710m at Q Parklands in a OPEN. Goes very well at the journey winning 11 races. Should be thereabouts. ELITE ONE (3) jumped best and was never headed last time. Sure to figure prominently.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won easily by 4.5 lengths at Wentworth Park (41.74) beating Zipping Bilpin in a Grade 4/5 on June 25. Is a danger.
