The Meadows Race 12 - Maturity Classic Ht8
VALENZUELA (8) flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.25 lengths third (30.28) over 525m at this track and making it two placings on end. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can measure up this time. SHIMA TIME (7) goes very well this course and distance starting 12 times for four wins and two minors. Missed the frame latest (29.85) when fifth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 4. Looks suited here and can measure up. SELECT KYRON (1) was in the minors two back (39.49) at Geelong but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Form from his last run is proving strong. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. HOT NANU (4) will be thereabouts after strong recent winning form.

Missed the frame last start when seventh but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Suited here and expected to bounce back.
