The Meadows Race 10 - Sportsbet Australian Cup Final (G1)

DRAMATICAL (1) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from five starts. Scored by 0.6 lengths last time (29.72) in a Special conditions SF over 525m at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. CLEO'S STAR (2) goes very well this course and distance starting 11 times for six wins and two minors. Comes off a (29.72) win last time, scoring by 1.4 lengths in a Special conditions SF over 525m at this track. Looks one of the chances. CONSIGLIERE (3) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 525m at this track two runs back then settled forward again when finishing second at this track last start. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expected to be in the finish again. MEPUNGA REWARD (8) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance – sure to have admirers.
