The Meadows Race 5 - Maturity Classic Ht1
ZELDA COVILHA (1) goes very well here starting 10 times for four wins and three minors. Recorded a 1.3 lengths win (30.06) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. SOOTY KEEPING (7) boasts a consistent overall record including 21 wins from 38 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (29.76) over 520m at Q Parklands. Tends to go well on this box draw. Expected to feature on best form. AMRON MICK (2) lines up chasing another win after getting around the 525m at this track in a slick 30.09 on July 12. Expecting another bold showing. HIGHLY CONNECTED (8) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning three on end before placing two back. Others rate better this time.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 7 length second (29.76) over 520m at Q Parklands. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 7, scoring two times. Go close.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won easily by 6 lengths at Warragul (25.77) beating Short Straw Trev in a Grade 4/5 on July 8. Solid claims this line-up.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 525m at this track in a handy (30.48), beating Aston Walker. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to entertain this time.
