The Meadows Pa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m
DOWNBYTHEWATER (7) scored by 0.6 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past four appearances. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Leading hope in this comparable race. TIP TOP CAT (1) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can grab that well-deserved win. LITENINGONTHEBEACH (8) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. ROCK THE BELLES (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 9 metres at this track over 1609m.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Downbythewater (1:50.00) in OPEN HCP on October 30 at $63. Two runs back won by 3 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:50.40) beating Sandbetweenmytoes in NW7900L4 on October 23 at $1.80. Racing very well. Strong claims.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following October 23 run. Last start won by 5 m (Fr2) at this track (1:51.40) beating Sandbetweenmytoes in NW6900L4 on October 30 at $5.70. This race will be harder than that win. Has failed to show enough.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 m by Downbythewater (1:50.00) in OPEN HCP on October 30 at $2.80. Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.5 m (Fr6) at this track (1:49.30) beating Frantic Hanover in OPEN HCP on October 23 at $4.90. Strong winning prospects.
