The Meadows Race 4 - Sportsbet Fanta Bale Stayers Ht1

FADE TO BLACK (8) was quickly into stride and burnt early from out wide where he gave a sight, finishing second (42.45) and beaten 1.75 lengths over 730m at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Winning claims. VODKA AND ICE (5) thrives over the longer races. Scored over 720m at Wentworth Park last time in a NG (41.53). Form at the trip strong including six wins. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Leading player again. TEXAS PRESIDENT (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at Sandown in a handy 42.23 beating MEPUNGA DONNA. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Leading chance again. MEPUNGA DONNA (4) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (42.45), beaten 3 lengths. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (42.23) over 715m at Sandown. Sure to be about the mark.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (34.85) in a R/A FIN, finishing a 8 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Tough field and looking to others this time.

In the money last time at this track (42.45) in a S/E Group 1, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Yet to miss the placings in five runs from this box, including two wins. Has ability and should feature.
