Southwell Tips: Meadway
Record over course and distance is 111 and race at Newcastle should have put him spot on for this test.
The 5f sprint (1.45) at Southwell is one of the highlights of New Year’s Day and connections of Meadway must be relishing it.
Twelve months ago, Meadway missed out on a place in the race owing to his rating of 92 but good placement by Bryan Smart sees him sneak in off top-weight with a mark of 90.
Meadway is something of a Fibresand specialist because his 5f tally at Southwell reads 111 and he has the time to back up his record. A class 3 winner in December 2015, he ran the 13th fastest time from the last 419 runners over course and distance.
A spin round Newcastle 22 days ago, served as the perfect pipe-opener, it was his first race in almost 2 months and he looks set to make it 4/4.
