The Meadows Race 9 - Maturity Classic Ht5
DRAMATICAL (1) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 4 lengths (29.29) at Sandown. Can continue winning ways. WRONGLY ACCUSED (8) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 13 length win at this track in a handy 29.43. Outside box to overcome but goes well over this trip. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. In sparkling form and expected to measure up again. DUSTIN (4) is an honest type in the frame at three of 11 starts including last time when second (27.10) over 485m at Horsham. Solid record here including four wins. Looks suited and expected to run well. GRANT KEEPING (3) good strike-rate overall and must be included.

Good performance to post a big 4 lengths win at Sandown over 515m (29.29) beating Paw Quinby in Grade 5 on July 2. Unbeaten in five starts from this draw. Key runner.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2 lengths in a Special conditions H at Horsham and clocking a brilliant 27.06 for the 485m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Sandown over 515m in 29.61. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 512m at Mt Gambier at OPEN level. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
