The Meadows Race 5 - Hags Rolls Into 50

COUSIN SAL (7) hit the frame last time at this track but just a few starts ago ran blistering time when scoring over 600m at The Gardens in 34.50. Rates on top and can find winning form again. MEPUNGA WILLOW (1) ran below her best last time finishing fifth (29.89) over 515m at Sandown in a Restricted WIN H. Has a good record at this journey. Was a winner at her only start from this draw. Likely to play a prominent role. ELITE ONE (6) resumed in a Grade 4/5 at this track and finished eighth over 525m (30.76). Solid record here winning three races. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Expected to feature in the finish. IN BLOOM (8) should be in the finish fresh from a six weeks break.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at this track. Not doing enough to be considered.

Went down narrowly in a Grade 4/5 at this track latest when a head second but did record a solid 30.03 over the 525m trip. Place prospects appear best again.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 8th in a Grade 4/5 on September 26 over 525m at this track behind Victory Barry beaten 12 lengths (30.76). Solid claims this line-up.
