The Meadows Race 3 - Spphav Awards Night

PAW VARNA (1) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 525m behind Paw Zhana (30.73) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and three minor placings from five starts. Can bounce back. OPAWA POSTMAN (4) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 5 last time (30.10) at this track. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Well placed and gets his chance. GAS AND DUST (2) goes very well this trip starting 14 times for five wins and four minors. Was out of placings last time (30.56) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. GAMORA BALE (8) was out of placings last time (30.24) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths. Has already won two times from this draw.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by half a length at Sandown (29.94) beating Xara Navy in a Grade 5 on September 17. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.
