Premier Racing at The Meadows features G3 winner Collinda Patty facing her litter sister Collinda Lady and the in-form Aston Amigo in a Mixed 4/5 600m race.
Dual G1 placegetter Mepunga Warrior lines up against G3 finalist Shima Jake, Kanji Giant, Fabriola Ximenez and Amnesty, while G1 finalist Flying Lantern v Emani Bale v G1 winner Here’s Tears v G1 finalist Overflow Lisa should be extremely competitive.

Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666542935/race/8
The Watchdog says 
: NINE NINE (8) has been racing well in stronger company of late and she appears ideally drawn out wide. With slow beginners drawn underneath, she should be able to settle in the top two and she is extremely hard to get past when in the clear.

The Watchdog says : ARIARNE BALE (4) is an exciting prospect, and she will be very strong in the run home. FABRIOLA ZERO (1) has the good draw, and she should be on the pace from the outset. JYE’S JET (2) should find the rail soon after box rise and with some luck at the first bend, he should be able to hit the scoreboard.

$2 Place – VENUS LIGHT
Must Watch Race
Mixed Grade 4/5
The Meadows Race 6 Box 8 600m 8:22pm
TAB fixed odds: $2.50 Place
The Watchdog says : VENUS LIGHT (8) takes on some ridiculously talented speedsters including Group 3 winner and Sandown Park 595m track record holder COLLINDA PATTY (5), but she has her favourite draw, and she should have enough pace to cross through the first bend. She will have a flat patch mid-race, but she does hit the line well and with her staying wide the trip, she can run home into the top three.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :
COLLINDA PATTY (5) has turned in some big performances since resuming and she returned to her brilliant best with a breathtaking 33.80sec Sandown Park win on a slow track last time out. The box draw hasn’t done her any favours again but with some luck early, she will take a power of beating. Her litter sister COLLINDA LADY (3) is the wild card. She has only had the seven starts, but she has turned in some huge performances and she has star stayer written all over her. Tonight is the first step in her staying campaign, however she gives every indication that she will cover the distance easily. ASTON AMIGO (2) rounds out the ‘big three’. He owns a scorching 34.29sec PB here and he should be able to clear SHOWTIME BOOMER (1) early. He has proven to be extremely hard to get past when leading, so if he can find the top, the ‘Collindas’ will have to be at their brilliant best to reel him in.
