The Meadows Race 11 - Maturity Classic Ht7
ON THE PROWL (4) goes very well this trip starting 16 times for six wins and four minors. Hit the frame latest (29.79) when second at Q Parklands in a OPEN. Looks a key chance on best form. ELUSIVE CURL (1) is better than last start when fourth (29.95) from Box 4 at Sandown over 515m. Boasts two wins from three starts out of this box. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. STORM HUSTLER (8) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from the winner Mepunga Reward in second(30.00) at Q Parklands. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Can measure up. DEWANA FAMILY (5) must be among the chances on the last run here.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 30.17 over 525m at this track. Boxed on well last time to hit the frame. Rates highly again.
