The Meadows Race 8 - Melbournegreyhounds.org.au

EXPLICIT (1) drew the inside and won last time at Sandown over 515m (29.27), scoring by a head. Has an excellent record from this draw including nine wins. Has the inside again and looks the key chance. SLICK SPLITS (5) has recorded back to back wins, last time scoring at Sandown over 515m by 2.5 lengths (29.33). Strong form has emerged from his last run. Bold showing expected again. SPRING MILES (8) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around Sandown in 29.53 to score two back then following on with a 30.04 win over 525m at this track. Recent form strong for this and rates a key player again. MAV REIKO (2) hit the frame latest (29.70) when third at Sandown in a Grade 5. Has two wins already from this draw.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a head over 515m at Sandown in a handy 29.27, beating Bagman. Well suited by the draw. Yet to be beaten in nine starts out of this draw. Sure to go well.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (30.36) at this track over 525m. This looks too tough.
