The Meadows Race 9 - Di Battista Real Estate
BANDIT SWAGGER (8) wound up strongly to score two back then did the same last time but could manage only a placing, finishing on late when third (34.87) in a Restricted WIN H at this track. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Likely to feature again. SPIRALLING (1) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing seventh (30.98) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Form from his last run is proving strong. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. PAW ZHANA (2) has been hard to follow lately, running seventh (30.85) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expected to do much better this time. PAW BRUTUS (7) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three at this track and distance most recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.98) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Key chance and should go close.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (30.29) over 525m at this track. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 450m at Shepparton in a handy (25.47), beating Sustainable. Will find this a bit tougher, this looks too tough.
