The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
ESPRESSO (6) scored last start by 0.9 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. RISING INTEREST (4) finished second last start, beaten 0.9 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. STARLIT RAMBO (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. STAY CLOSE (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 6 metres at this track over 1609m.

Last start 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Country Dagger (1:53.40) in NW6501L4 on July 2 at $30.50. Two runs back 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Country Mamma (1:53.40) in NW3000L4 on June 27 at $4. Won't be beating too many of these home.

Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:53.10) beating Spicy Nugget in NW3500L4 on July 3 at $2.40. One of the better hopes.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Stay Close (1:53.10) in NW3500L4 on July 3 at $5. Before that beaten 7 metres, fifth at this track over 1609m NW3000L4 on June 27. Hard to envisage a win.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Guido Di at this track over 1609m in a NW8600L4 on June 25 at $14.90. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Espresso at this track over 1609m in a NW4500L4 on July 2 at $2.60. Plenty to like about his prospects.
