The Meadows Race 8 - Hector Fawley At Stud
SHARAPOVA STAR (2) has a strong record this track and trip with eight wins and nine placings from 23 starts. Scored by 2.75 lengths last time (25.80) in a Grade 4/5 over 460m at Geelong. Appeals as a leading chance in this. HOT NANU (7) boasts a consistent overall record including 12 wins from 53 starts, but missed the frame latest when seventh (30.52) over 515m at Sandown. Solid record here at the distance winning nine races. Rates a winning chance on best. PAW QWERTY (1) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her strong win three back, getting around this track over 525m in 30.02. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. RADAR O'REILLY (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Geelong, recording a handy 25.80 over the 460m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
