The Meadows Race 8 - Sportsbet Australian Cup S/F2

CLEO'S STAR (1) boasts a strong record this course with five wins and two minors from 10 tries. Placed last time (29.82) at this track in a Special conditions race, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Looks the one to beat with even luck. TIM ZOO (2) was out of placings last time (30.14) at this track in a S/E Group 1, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Boasts a top strike-rate from this draw, winning six of 10 runs. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. MEPUNGA REWARD (7) lines up chasing another win after sizzling around this track over 525m in 29.80 on February 14. In form and looks a leading player again. DASHING SLAY (5) placed last time (29.84) at this track in a S/E Group 1, finishing third and beaten 0.7 lengths. Has already won two times from this draw.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won comfortably by 4 lengths at Sandown (34.18) beating Texas President in a Grade 5 on February 5. Other runners look much more appealing.

Finished in the minors last time in a S/E Group 1 at this track when a 0.7 lengths third but did run a hot 29.84 for the 525m trip. Has the ability and looks an each way chance.

Was a little disappointing last start, fading in the run home at this track over 525m. The start prior was at his best with a one length win over 515m at Sandown. Is a danger.
