The Meadows Race 3 - Home Of The Phoenix
PAW ISLA (2) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing third (25.44) at Shepparton over 450m. Capable of going well again. CAPRICORN ONE (1) missed the hat-trick last start when fourth and beaten 8 lengths (30.44) last time at this track. Great chance to atone. PAW LOVISA (3) beaten last start over the 450m at Shepparton but finished in the minors in a decent 25.42. Fast run latest and rates a key player again. WARM HUGS (8) is worth including after a top-three finish in slick time most recently.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 525m. Last start finished 4th on February 28 over 525m at this track behind Paw Gertrude beaten 8 lengths (30.44) in a Grade 5 FIN. Looks a strong winning hope.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only third (25.44) at Shepparton over 450m. Scored three on the trot prior to last start. Can return to winning form.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 450m at Shepparton clocking 25.42. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Was among the placegetters latest at Ballarat when a 3 length third but did clock a hot 30.86 for the 545m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Bendigo over 425m in 23.67. Followed that up with a minor placing over 410m at Horsham at Grade 5 four days ago. Not among the main chances this time.
