The Meadows Race 11 - Gap
BELFAST SPOT (5) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.70) at this track behind Electric Loch in a Grade 5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Winning claims. PAW GREGSON (7) was below best at his last start when 6th at Sandown following a second place finish (30.33) at this track two back. Expected to give a good account. MIDNIGHT THUNDER (3) latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on May 27 over 525m at this track behind Electric Loch beaten 7 lengths (30.78). Looks suited here and can measure up. PAW KENNETH (1) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Is back up to 525m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when seventh over 450m at Warrnambool six days ago. Major threat on best form.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (30.28) over 520m at Geelong. Draws an inside box and can measure up.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 400m at Warragul. Not among the main chances this time.

Showed good improvement when second behind Electric Loch at this track last start over 525m (30.70). Made up good ground from the back and will be strong late again. Has to be included.

Impressive performance leading throughout to score by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Ballarat, recording a sharp 25.30 over the 450m journey. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Was out of placings last time (25.65) at Ballarat in a Restricted WIN H, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
