The Meadows Race 5 - Vale Steve Williams
JUST IN CASEY (1) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at Sandown over 595m behind Moonlight Miller (34.72) in a Grade 5. Placed at her previous run. Better than last start and worth following up. PAW FORTRESS (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 4 last run (34.82) at this track. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including three wins, from six starts. Will give a great sight again. PAW YOCHELLE (3) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Finished third (34.57) at this track last time making it two minors on end. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Will give a great sight again. KING RON (2) can sneak into the finish.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 6 length third over 600m this track in 34.57. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (34.94) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 600m in 34.87. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 600m at this track at R/A FIN level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
