The Meadows Race 5 - Melbournegreyhounds.org.au

DEWANA FAMILY (7) missed the frame latest when fifth at Sandown (29.96) but was a winner four back in the second best time of the program. Form here at the trip excellent including two wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Has ability and looks hard to stop. ALGEBRA (6) could manage only second last time but ran respectable time (29.85) at this track over 525m when beaten one length in a Grade 5. Expected to feature again. PAW ZHANA (2) was out of the placings latest but three back was a Grade 5 winner in quick time (30.13) at this track in a Grade 5. Can hit the frame this time. NOVA OWEN (1) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.
