The Meadows Race 5 - Di Battista Real Estate
SOCIALISM (6) boasts a strong record this journey with two wins and two minors from five tries. Comes off a (34.55) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 600m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. PAW MAUD (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (25.50) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to do much better this time. MEPUNGA SANDY (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run. Something for the Multiples: MISTER MANFREDI (3)

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a slick 23.93 over 425m when just missed, at Bendigo. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth on October 17 over 600m at this track behind Opawa Emily, beaten 8 lengths (35.15) in a Grade 5. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (30.49) at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Has to do a bit more.

Good performance to win by 3.5 lengths at this track over 600m (34.55) beating Monument in Grade 5 on October 14. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.
