The Meadows Race 2 - Home Of The Phoenix

MEPUNGA SPIRIT (2) has a terrific record this track and trip with two wins and one placing from three starts. Hit the frame latest (29.66) when second at Sandown in a Grade 6. Has the ability and should feature. RADAR O'REILLY (1) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (30.08) over 515m at Sandown in a Restricted WIN. Got the money at his only try from this box. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. VICTORY ALBERT (8) was out of the placings last time but recorded an impressive Mix 6/7 win (29.73) at Sandown three runs back. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. JUNEAU PETE (5) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 460m. Last start finished 4th over 515m at Sandown beaten 5.5 lengths (30.08) behind Lady Rapid in a Restricted WIN on April 2. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 515m at Sandown clocking 29.66. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.
