The Meadows Race 4 - Frank Leach Classic
SLICK SPLITS (2) was a last start winner this course and distance taking a Grade 6 in 30.10 in one of the quickest times on the card and clocking a personal best as well. In form and rates on top again. JUDGEMENTAL (6) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Sandown over 595m behind Reality Pie (35.18) in a Grade 5. Great chance to atone. SOUTH THAILAND (8) scored an upset win at big odds last time in a Restricted WIN at Sandown (35.03). Can make it back-to-back wins. NAVY BLUE BUZZ (1) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.
