The Meadows Race 8 - Onthestraight.com.au
MONUMENT (5) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 5th and beaten 7 lengths at Sandown (29.92). Can atone. OPAWA VICTORIA (3) steps out for the first time at this track. Comes here a winner at Addington last time in a SPECA FIN (30.36). Should be in this for a long way. PAW NIALL (7) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (34.75) at Sandown behind Lush Hour in a Grade 5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Hard to beat again. ASTON POLICY (1) was unplaced here last start but gets her chance to atone.

Has finished sixth at her last three starts, most recently over 525m at this track. On best form is more than capable. Keep safe.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fourth (38.87) at Ballarat last start. Has a low draw but appears tested on latest effort.

Good performance to win by 2.5 lengths at Addington over 525m (30.36) beating Smelly Halle in SPECA FIN on July 30. Looks well placed and can measure up again.

Missed the frame latest (29.92) when fifth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and three places from seven starts. Looks a leading chance.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (34.75) at Sandown over 595m. Yet to win but has been in the money two times from four starts off this draw. Right in the mix.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 525m at this track in a handy (30.49), beating Zipping Tyra. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to tip with any confidence.
