The Meadows Race 5 - Shepparton To The Meadows Final
DEVIL'S SYMPATHY (6) was below best last time finishing fifth at Sandown, but prior to that had been racing well including a Grade 5 H win two back at Shepparton. Likely to improve sharply this time. MISS MAXIMUS (1) quickly away to win over the 425m at Bendigo two runs back then settled forward again when finishing third at Shepparton last start. Expecting another good run. ZELDA BRAGA (8) was prominent early from the tricky draw and stalked the lead but levelled up to score (25.58) at Shepparton in Grade 5 H over 450m. Expected to measure up again. POINT MAN (2) must be included in calculations.

Did a good job two starts back at Healesville to win by 2.5 lengths in 19.58, beating Archie Mcivor. Last start finished last on September 21 over 450m at Shepparton behind Devil's Sympathy beaten 9 lengths (25.84) in a Grade 5 H. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (25.71) over 450m at Shepparton. Tricky draw to overcome. One of the better hopes.

Hit the frame latest (25.62) when second at Shepparton in a Grade 5 H. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Flew the lids with a slick early split last time and went on to clock 25.58 as a strongly fancied winner over 450m at Shepparton. Expected to measure up again.
