The Meadows Race 5 - Sportsbet Ht1
SCOTT SIGMA (2) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (30.39) at Geelong over 520m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Must come into calculations. BONNIE BLITZ (8) caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a 1.5 lengths win at Shepparton over 450m in 25.25, making it two wins on end. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Should be in this for a long way. MAXI GRIN (5) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with two wins and a placing from four tries. Comes off a (30.27) win last time, scoring by half a length in a Grade 6 over 525m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. DUBROW (7) was out of placings last time (19.70) at Healesville in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 525m at this track. Can't make much of a case this time.

Recent form has been ordinary and he is facing a tougher line up. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.

Good performance to win by half a length at this track over 525m (30.27) beating Arc Flash in Grade 6 on April 8. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Grade 5 on April 12 over 350m at Healesville behind Aston Rennes beaten 4.5 lengths (19.70). Placed two back at Geelong. Was in the money five on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.

Won her last two including a strong win last start over 450m at Shepparton by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5. Strongly fancied and lived right up to expectations last start. Stick with her.
