The Meadows Race 5 - Di Battista Real Estate
BOUNDING CHIEF (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (35.46) last time in a Grade 5 NP at Sandown. Solid record at the distance winning nine races. Should be very hard to beat this time. BUN QUAKE (1) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fifth and beaten 4 lengths (31.94) at Ballarat. Solid record here at the distance winning six races. Worth another chance. RIPPING IT UP (3) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and two minors. Was out of the placings last time (30.71) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths. Among the main chances. PAW AMALFI (6) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.71) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from eight starts. Suited here and expected to run well.
