The Meadows Race 1 - The Watchdog App

XARA'S LEON (8) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 2 lengths away in second (29.98) behind Azzurro at this track. Can find winning form. FABULOUS JONES (4) filled a minor placing last start at Ballarat behind Indian Prince (25.87) in a Restricted WIN. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Leading player again. ASTON LOUISE (5) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at this track over 525m behind Azzurro (30.60) in a Maiden FIN. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and is one of the better chances. PETALI (1) makes debut for the Brendan Pursell kennel. Drawn well and should get his chance. Market should provide a lead to his ability.

Yet to break through in seven runs, the latest effort a third over 450m at Ballarat in 25.87. Looks well placed here.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (30.36) at big odds over 525m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need the breaks to go her way.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 2 length second but did clock a slick 29.98 over the 525m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.
