The Meadows Race 3 - Matt Sims Bucks Batska

AWESOME BANDIT (6) is better than last start when fifth (30.80) in a Special conditions race at Angle Park over 530m. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Ready to return to form. PAW ORENTHAL (4) has been out of the placings last two but shapes well for this if he can recapture his handy win a few runs back, getting around Sandown over 515m in 29.55. Top win three back and rates a key player again. PERFECT PICTURE (8) missed the frame last time at Angle Park but was in the finish the start prior when sixth (30.25) and goes well this journey. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. PAW VARNA (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.75 lengths at Horsham over 410m (23.62) beating Stojanovic in Grade 5 on September 15. Draws the cherry but has the job ahead.

Good effort to win last start by 4.5 lengths over 525m at this track in a handy (30.30), beating Paw Vine. Will find this a bit tougher, shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sandown over 515m. Last start finished 5th on September 10 over 530m at Angle Park behind Radar O'reilly beaten 6 lengths (30.80) in a Special conditions race. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this draw. Sure to go well.
