The Meadows Race 8 - Haig Fawkner Cricket Club
ULENTA BALE (1) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 8 length third (34.49) over 595m at Sandown. Won at her only start from this draw. Makes plenty of appeal. MEPUNGA RULE (7) is progressing well claiming his 3rd career win latest, scoring by 2 lengths (34.48) at Geelong. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Significant danger. ZIPPING SINGH (4) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by a neck at Sandown in a handy 29.85. Has a tricky draw to overcome but has the ability and in winning form. Must be included in calculations. HANDSOME RATIO (2) was in the money again last start when third at this track (34.70).

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (34.49) at Sandown over 595m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.29) in a Grade 5, finishing a 16 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and two places from 10 starts. Others appear better placed.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (34.72) over 600m at this track. Drawn out wide and will need the right run to feature.
