The Meadows Race 5 - Sportsbet Ht1
FLASH OF GENIUS (3) was among the minors three back at Geelong then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 3 this time where he has two wins. Has the ability and expected to go close. MIGHTY SCAR (5) has been in super consistent form recently with three minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (30.26) at this track. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Key player if finds best. MOONLIGHT MILLER (4) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at Sandown over 515m behind Slick Splits (30.02) in a Free For All. Was in the money prior to that. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Should be about the mark. BELAIR BRINDLE (2) cannot be ruled out.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (19.55) at big odds over 350m at Healesville. Has the inside draw and is in the mix.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 410m at Horsham. That followed a win two back in 25.95 beating Magpie Harry over 450m at Warrnambool. Would be better placed in something easier.
