The Meadows Race 8 - Hector Fawley At Stud
ZIPPING ANDORA (2) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 2.5 lengths away in second (35.05) at this track in a Grade 5 over 600m. Expected to feature in the finish again. MEANINGFUL (4) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Sandown over 595m behind Tripped Out (34.71) in a Grade 4/5. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. BORACAY BELLA (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at Sandown in a handy 34.47 beating Flying Royce. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Will go close again if runs up to latest. HONEST BEERS (7) is worth some thought after placing last start.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sandown over 595m in 34.47 last start, beating Flying Royce. Likes the rails so won at her only start from this draw. Top chance to make it two from two.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, forget the latest effort. Among the chances.
