The Meadows Pa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609M
SFORZA (5) produced a better effort last time out, finishing third over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he can add to the sound recent effort. STARLIT RAMBO (7) has been very good at both appearances this prep. Scored first up at this track then finished 1.5 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track at the latest run a week ago. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. ESPRESSO (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. SPLENDID (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by 9 metres at this track over 1609m.

Hard to fault of late. Last start posted a big 9 m win (Fr5) at this track (1:54.30) beating Looks Like Moni in NW5500L4 on April 16 at $6.60. No surprise if he made it two in succession.

Returns after four months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into seventh behind Big Boy Ernest at this track over 1609m in a NW11750L4 on January 7 at $51.30. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Respect.

Well beaten last start by Espresso, who he meets again; when 22 metres seventh at this track over 1609m in a NW8400L4 race on April 24. Can't see him featuring.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Spaaaanzano at Northfield Park over 1609m in a OPEN on April 19 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Espresso at this track over 1609m in a NW8400L4 on April 24 at $1.60. Has the ability to play a major role.

Last start 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Espresso (1:54.20) in NW8400L4 on April 24 at $94.40. Two runs back won by 2.25 m (Fr4) at this track (1:55.30) beating Lady Almas in NW3500L4 on April 15 at $4.80. Would rather see in something easier.
