The Meadows Race 2 - Bendigo To The Meadows Final (1-4 Wins)
CAPTAIN EASY (2) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 2.75 lengths at Bendigo in a handy 27.93. Draws to advantage and likes the trip. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Looks the testing material. KRAKEN GINGER (4) drew the inside and won last time at Bendigo over 500m (27.80) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by 4.5 lengths. Rates a leading chance again. MIDNIGHT JED (1) is a last start placegetter (28.29) at Bendigo off the rails draw, finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths. Missed the placings only try here. Expected to feature. SCOTT LYLAH (8) did the right thing for favourite backers last time and is a major player again.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 6 length third over 500m at Bendigo, clocking 28.19. Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Bendigo over 500m in 27.80 last start, beating Erase And Rewind. Looks the one to beat.

Was among the placegetters latest at Bendigo when a 0.8 lengths second but did clock a respectable 28.22 over the 500m journey. Harder here and looks a place chance only.

Hit the frame at Bendigo last time when a 4.5 lengths second but did record a hot 28.09 for the 500m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
