The Meadows Race 3 - Band Of Bombers 2026
AMRON TOY (2) is a talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been on speed to score at his last couple of runs. Last start won Sandown in a handy 29.31 beating Lakeview Lynette. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. In great recent form and expected to measure up again. SLICK BADGER (7) is better than last start when eighth (30.26) in a Special conditions race at Launceston over 515m. Has a good record at this journey. Won at his only start from this box. Deserves plenty of respect. PRISON BREAK (3) was below best last time finishing fourth at Warragul, but prior to that had been racing well including a Grade 4/5 win two back at Geelong. Can improve sharply here. MIGHTY SCAR (1) hit the frame latest (30.54) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Has already won out of this draw.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on January 31 over 525m at this track behind Paw Lou Lou beaten 5 lengths (30.54). Has the ability to be in the finish.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 515m at Sandown in a handy 29.31 beating Lakeview Lynette. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Could manage only fourth last time but caught the eye the start prior when he was an impressive winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by one length in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong and recording a flying 25.74 over the 460m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Sandown, the latest when beaten 5.5 lengths behind Amron Toy over 515m. Not keen this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Launceston over 515m. Last start finished last over 515m at Launceston beaten 13 lengths (30.26) behind Appenzell in a Special conditions race on February 2. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Bounced back last start after failing to finish two starts back when he finished 2nd over 450m at Shepparton beaten 2 lengths (25.50) behind Ivory Hamada in a Grade 4/5 on February 2. Capable of a good showing.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 525m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
