The Meadows Race 3 - Di Battista Real Estate
TASTE (8) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 4.5 lengths into third (30.30) at this track in a Mix 6/7 over 525m. Deserves serious consideration. MAXI GRIN (5) was strongly fancied but finished third last time (26.46) at Geelong, bringing a two-run winning streak to an end. Comes through a solid form race last start. Winning chance. MISS SPARKLES (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing eighth (30.75) in a Mix 6/7 FIN at this track. In the mix. ARC FLASH (7) can fill a top-three spot.

Just been plugging away and needs to improve after being unplaced in four tries. Last start 6th over 525m at this track. Hard to recommend this time.

Jumped well at this track two runs back then again settled forward and finished third at Geelong last start over 460m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.
