The Meadows Race 2 - Home Of The Phoenix
XARA'S JAI (6) spotted a start but wound up strongly late and finished second and beaten 0.8 lengths (30.24) at this track in Maiden FIN. Good form should continue. SCARY STORM (1) was well supported last time but could only manage second (22.92), beaten 8 lengths. Well-placed to take this out. PETALI (2) hit the ground running from a squeeze draw and prominent early but run ended and faded to finish 6th at this track in Mix 6/7 H company. Form from his last run is proving strong. Great chance to atone. ASTON WALSH (7) cannot be left out after placing here at this trip last start.
