The Meadows Race 10 - Maturity Classic Ht6
STEAL THE STAGE (2) has a strong record here with two wins and two placings from four starts. Placed last time (30.56) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. RETALIATION (6) is worth forgiving for his last effort when eighth (30.21) at Wentworth Park over 520m. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Bold showing expected. BOOM BAM RANGER (1) is a promising type who notched his 6th career success when too good (29.38) at Wentworth Park last time. Has a strong winning record at this journey. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. PAW DAMON (8) is always a threat when he races at this track and distance.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Wentworth Park over 520m in 29.38, claiming a Grade 5 by 1.5 lengths. Looks the one to beat again.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (30.56) over 525m at this track. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Horsham over 485m in 27.47. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 515m at Sandown at Grade 4/5 level. Hard to tip with any confidence.
