The Meadows Race 4 - Di Battista Real Estate

ILLUMINATOR (6) was below best at his last start when 7th at this track following a second place finish (28.11) at Bendigo two back. Solid record here at this trip including three wins. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Should be very hard to beat this time. NIGEL DEVERE (8) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (34.96) at this track behind Magic Loki in a Free For All. 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. Must be included in calculations. AYDEN'S WARRIOR (1) has a strong overall record having 30 wins and 27 places from 75 starts but was out of the money last time when sixth (41.99) over 710m at Q Parklands. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Looks suited and expected to run well. DO SOMETHING (4) warrants respect following a recent placing over this course and distance.

Missed the frame latest (41.99) when sixth over 710m at Q Parklands in a OPEN. Goes very well off the draw boasting six wins and five places from 12 starts. Can feature with the right run.

Missed the frame last start when a 6 length sixth (29.85) at Sandown. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Has ability but needs to find best and others make more appeal.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (30.82) over 525m at this track. Looks a solid hope.
