The Meadows Race 9 - Di Battista Real Estate
BAROOGA JIM (4) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (29.33) at Sandown in a Grade 5 H over 515m. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. PAW QWAN (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at this track over 525m. Expecting another good run. PAW GERTRUDE (1) recorded a win over the 450m at Ballarat in a fast 25.29 last start. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. Something for the Multiples: GAS AND DUST (3)

Impressive performance to score by a 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Ballarat, recording a sharp 25.29 over the 450m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Has been in tremendous form, putting three wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won by 2.5 lengths at Sale (24.45) beating Dr. Patrick in a Grade 5 FIN on April 26. In a purple patch of form and likely to run well again.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Sandown over 515m in 29.33, claiming a Grade 5 H by 5 lengths. In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 525m at this track. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 460m at Geelong. Other runners look much more appealing.
