The Meadows Race 1 - Sportsbet Ht1
LADY TSUNADE (1) has a solid record despite not breaking through for a win in eight starts. Was seventh (30.37) at Sandown latest and although yet to win tends to go well here. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Ready to return to form. PAW STELLA (8) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 525m (31.18). Expected to feature in the finish. GRAPEFRUIT YAEKO (7) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 1.3 lengths into third (22.38) at Ballarat in a Maiden FIN over 390m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. BACK TALK (4) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot on debut.

Has finished fourth at her last couple of starts, most recently at Geelong over 460m. Likely to find this too tough.

Ran nicely on debut when jumped well and raced on pace, holding on to finish third (26.40) at Geelong over 460m. Has ability and among the chances.

Modest effort last time out when fifth over 525m at this track. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (22.38) at Ballarat over 390m. Should be around the mark.

Ran a solid race on debut when settled well off the lead early but got home well to finish fourth (31.18) at this track over 525m. Should be further improved. Capable of a strong show.
